The sequential model is less frequently used than other IRT models for polytomous data such as the generalized partial credit or graded response models.

Current methods typically identify strategies for each item of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices, capturing only between-item cognitive strategy switching (CSS). Although within-item CSS is recognized, methods to dynamically identify and reveal it are lacking. This study introduces the concept of an eye movement snippet, a basic unit for studying within-item CSS, along with a new eye-tracking process measure that quantifies the sequence length of alternatives viewed in a snippet. Combined with hidden Markov modeling, we propose a new method for dynamically identifying within-item cognitive strategies and revealing their switching. Using eye-tracking data from a matrix reasoning test, we demonstrate the value of the proposed method through a series of analyses. The results indicate that during problem-solving: (1) participants predominantly used two strategies-constructive matching and response elimination; (2) there is a high probability of switching from constructive matching to response elimination, but not vice versa; (3) more difficult items lead to more frequent strategy switching; (4) frequent strategy switching decreases time spent in the matrix area and on problem-solving planning; (5) frequent strategy switching correlates with incorrect answers for some items; and (6) frequent strategy switching increases total response time. Additionally, within-item CSS showed three distinct patterns as the test progressed, with significant differences in participants' intelligence levels and total test time among the patterns. Overall, the proposed method effectively identifies within-item cognitive strategies and their switching in matrix reasoning tasks.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"175"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144101204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through comprehensive simulation studies and real-data analysis, we determine that the cauchit model, distinguished by its symmetric error distribution and pronounced tails, provides a streamlined solution, because the tail-pronounced symmetric error distribution captures key features of the 4PLM with only one item parameter. The 4PLM requires large sample sizes (e.g., N > 5000), medium item difficulty, and high discrimination when both upper and lower asymptote effects are present. In contrast, we show that the cauchit model works well with drastically smaller sample sizes (e.g., N = 100).

Gaze estimation in terms of gaze zone classification requires large-scale labeled data for supervised machine learning and deep learning-based models. In this study, we collected a driver gaze dataset and annotated it using three annotation approaches - manual annotation, Speak2Label, and moving pointer-based annotation. Moving pointer-based annotation was introduced as a new data annotation approach inspired by screen-based gaze data collection. For each data collection approach, ground truth labels were obtained using an eye tracker. The proposed moving pointer-based approach was found to achieve higher accuracy compared to the other two approaches. Due to the lower accuracy of manual annotation and the Speak2Label method, we performed a detailed analysis of these two annotation approaches to understand the reasons for the misclassification. A confusion matrix was also plotted to compare the manually assigned gaze labels with the ground truth labels. This was followed by misclassification analysis, two-sample t-test-based analysis to understand if head pose and pupil position of driver influence the misclassification by the annotators. In Speak2Label, misclassification was observed due to a lag between the speech and gaze time series, which can be visualized in the graph and cross-correlation analysis were done to compute the maximum lag between the two time series. Finally, we created a benchmark Eye Tracker-based Driver Gaze Dataset (ET-DGaze) that consists of the driver's face images and corresponding gaze labels obtained from the eye tracker.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"172"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One possible reason that glyphs of writing systems are not commonly used in behavioral research concerns their profound complexity. However, recent developments in computer vision (i.e., geometric shape analysis) offer tools to automatically assess their visual dimensions. The current work describes an open-access database of 3,208 glyphs from diverse writing systems that have been normed by computational analyses in terms of shape angularity using an array of measurements. We further validate these norms by obtaining human judgments of angularity for a subset of 400 glyphs and show that they correlate highly with computational measures, in particular with first-order entropy of edge orientation. Additionally, we provide methods for standardized glyph generation based on Unicode ranges, a straightforward example of computational shape analysis, and a demonstration of automated transliteration of glyphs from Unicode strings using a pre-existing Python library. These procedures should facilitate the characterization of angularity of new glyphs and any other kind of visual shape by independent researchers.

Given the increasing use of virtual reality (VR) in performance-critical applications such as medical training and vision research, it is important to understand these differences. Here, we compared lightness constancy in physical and VR environments using a task where viewers matched the reflectance of a fronto-parallel match patch to the reflectance of a reference patch at a range of 3D orientations relative to a light source. We used a custom-built physical apparatus and four VR conditions: (1) All-Cue (replicating the physical apparatus), (2) Reduced-Depth (no disparity or parallax), (3) Shadowless (no cast shadows), and (4) Reduced-Context (no surrounding objects). Lightness constancy was markedly better in the physical condition than in all four VR conditions. Surprisingly, viewers achieved a degree of lightness constancy even in the Reduced-Context condition, despite the absence of lighting cues. In a follow-up experiment, we re-tested the All-Cue and Reduced-Context conditions in VR with new observers, each participating in only one condition. Here, we found lower levels of constancy than in the first experiment, suggesting that experience across multiple experimental settings and possibly exposure to the physical apparatus during instructions had enhanced performance. We conclude that even when robust lighting and shape cues are available, lightness constancy is substantially better in real environments than in virtual environments. We consider possible explanations for this finding, such as the imperfect models of materials and lighting that are used for rendering in real-time VR.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"170"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143964707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there are some tools to measure apathy in China, there is a lack of appropriate instruments specifically designed to assess social motivation for a more comprehensive definition of apathy. Moreover, there is limited research on the complex interrelations among the intrinsic domains of apathy. Therefore, we developed the Chinese version of the Apathy Motivation Index (AMI) and assessed its reliability and validity in a sample of 758 participants. Network analysis was employed to explore the relationships among different domains of apathy. The Chinese version of the AMI classifies apathy into three domains, namely, behavioral activation, social motivation, and emotional sensitivity, which is consistent with the original scale; it also has good reliability and validity, making it suitable for measuring apathy and motivation in both healthy and patient populations. Additionally, network analysis revealed that apathy within the behavioral activation domain critically contributes to the overall measurement of apathy, while the social motivation dimension may serve as a bridge connecting other dimensions. Our study offers a reliable instrument to investigate apathy in Chinese-speaking individuals and could provide new insights for a better understanding of apathy in neuropsychiatric disorders.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"168"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12069496/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143963816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
