Until recently, infant eye-gaze analysis required either expensive corneal-reflection eye-tracking technology or labor-intensive manual annotation (coding). Fortunately, iCatcher+, a recently developed AI-based automated gaze annotation tool, promises to reduce these expenses. To adopt this tool as a mainstream tool for gaze annotation, it is key to determine how annotations produced by iCatcher+ compare to the annotations produced by trained human coders. Here, we provide such a comparison, using 288 videos from a word-learning experiment with 12-month-olds. We evaluate the agreement between these two annotation systems and the effects identified using each system. We find that (1) agreement between human-coded and iCatcher+-annotated video data is excellent (88%) and comparable to intercoder agreement among human coders (90%), and (2) both annotation systems yield the same patterns of effects. This provides strong assurances that iCatcher+ is a viable alternative to manual annotation of infant gaze, one that holds promise for increasing efficiency, reducing the costs, and broadening the empirical base in infant eye-tracking.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"158"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143975671","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}

However, there is currently a lack of published tests or norms that provide adequate feedback on children's character size development. To address this gap, we developed the Chinese character size test (CCST) for Mandarin Chinese students in grades 1-6. To address the need for resource-efficient assessment, longitudinal tracking precision, and curriculum-aligned interpretation, we applied rigorous test development processes, vertical test equating, and the item response theory framework to measure children's character size development throughout primary grades. A comprehensive evaluation of the CCST's psychometric properties yielded satisfying results, including item statistics, test reliability, inferential score reliability, criterion-related validity, and empirical validity. Normative data from a representative sample of 7,459 primary school students in Beijing were analyzed to construct the norm-referenced and criterion-referenced character size scores. The results indicated that the mean character sizes of primary students in grades 1-6 were 1,227, 1,898, 2,422, 2,722, 2,932, and 3,060 characters, respectively, and that approximately 5.1% of the students in grades 3-6 failed to achieve the required character size level by the national curriculum criterion. In conclusion, the CCST is a child-friendly, highly interpretable, and open-access instrument with strong psychometric quality and comprehensive scoring feedback. This work would interest a wide range of users, including researchers, educators, and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"155"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143959421","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 these studies have provided important insights into social perception and cognition, their restricted ecological validity may impede the extrapolation of findings to everyday social contexts. Here, we developed a novel immersive virtual reality scenario that permits the examination of social approach and avoidance behavior under naturalistic circumstances while at the same time maintaining full experimental control. Using a combination of a social conditioning procedure with a social approach-avoidance test, we conducted two experiments (both with N = 48 female participants) to investigate how individuals differing in trait social anxiety adapt their behavior after a single encounter with an either friendly or unfriendly virtual agent. In addition to overt approach and avoidance behavior, we acquired subjective ratings, eye-tracking data, and autonomic responses. Overall, we observed significant effects of the social conditioning procedure on autonomic responses and participants' exploration behavior. After initially increased attention, participants exhibited avoidance of social threats as indicated by a higher interpersonal distance and decreased visual attention towards the negatively conditioned virtual agent in the test phase. We found no association between hypervigilance and trait social anxiety but observed higher fear ratings and enhanced avoidance of social threats in participants with elevated anxiety levels. Altogether, this study demonstrates the potential of immersive virtual environments for examining social learning processes under conditions resembling real-life social encounters.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 6","pages":"157"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12031922/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143962401","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}

In the present study, we collected new semantic rating norms for 3,512 verbs on the dimensions of concreteness, embodiment, imageability, valence, and arousal. The resulting ratings provide the largest database of verb-specific rating norms across multiple semantic dimensions. They show good reliability and validity on four of five dimensions, with some evident challenges in rating arousal for the verb stimuli. We demonstrate that the norms account for variance in response latencies and accuracy in a lexical decision task, word recognition task, and recognition memory, above and beyond dimensions such as length, frequency, orthographic Levenshtein distance, and age of acquisition, and thus that semantic richness effects are observed in verb processing. The norms described here should be a useful resource for researchers interested in verb lexical-semantic processing.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 5","pages":"153"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143972794","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}

This study introduces a dictation test and a vocabulary knowledge test in Chinese, which aim to measure lexical expertise in proficient Chinese language users like university students. The psychometric properties of the two tests were examined with two groups of participants. In the first group, exploratory factor analyses confirmed that each of these tests was unidimensional, measuring a single underlying construct of lexical expertise. After removing some problematic items, the two tests also demonstrated satisfactory internal reliabilities. Although the test scores were only weakly correlated with self-reported measures of language proficiency, the correlation with word recognition performance was moderate. These results were successfully replicated with the second cross-validation group, confirming the reliability and convergent validity of the tests. An additional dataset further showed that the vocabulary test score was positively correlated with sentence comprehension performance. Taken together, the tests have acceptable psychometric quality and can serve as tools for examining individual differences in Chinese language processing. The tests are freely available online, and normative performance data are provided, facilitating their use in future research.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 5","pages":"151"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12014802/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143955743","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}

Here, we aim to examine the associations between these factors by specifically focusing on the temporal dynamics of REM sleep in all night records, as well as to provide a new, objective, EEG-derived chronotype indicator. To achieve those aims, a wearable EEG headband recorded home sleep database was analyzed in terms of total sleep time (TST), REM dynamics, core body temperature, wrist actigraphy, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, subjective morning sleep quality, and Likert Sleepiness Scale. Furthermore, records from the Budapest-Munich database of polysomnography (PSG) were analyzed for REM sleep patterns, TST, arousal dynamics, and age. The results show that the timing of the crest of REM propensity (REMmaxprop) reliably correlated with weekly average actigraphy sleep midpoints, subjective chronotype measures, and also tended to be associated with core body temperature. Additionally, REMmaxprop emerged at earlier times in children and middle-aged participants as compared to teenagers and young adults. Subjective sleep quality exclusively reflected the shortening of headband-recorded sleep as compared to weekly average TST. REM percent negatively correlated with NREM arousal density. It can be concluded that the overnight REM sleep dynamic (REMmaxprop) is a putative indicator of circadian phase/chronotype with potential relevance for home sleep studies. However, sleep quality indices are less conclusive in between-subjects design, urging the need for longitudinal investigations allowing interindividual analyses.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 5","pages":"150"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12011970/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143961190","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}

Though a long tradition of research has pointed to possible sources of halo effects, measurement models for identifying these sources and detecting halo have been lacking. In the present research, we propose a general mixture Rasch facets model for halo effects (MRFM-H) and derive two more specific models, each assuming a different psychological mechanism. According to the first model, MRFM-H(GI), persons evoke general impressions that guide raters when assigning scores on conceptually distinct criteria. The second model, MRFM-H(ID), assumes that raters fail to discriminate adequately between the criteria. We adopted a Bayesian inference approach to implement these models, conducting two simulation studies and a real-data analysis. In the simulation studies, we found that (a) the number of raters and criteria determined the accuracy of classifying persons as inducing or not inducing halo; (b) 90% classification accuracy was achieved when at least 25 ratings were available for each rater-person combination; (c) ignoring halo caused by either mechanism (general impressions or inadequate criterion discrimination) biased the criterion parameter estimates while having a negligible impact on person and rater estimates; (d) Bayesian data-model fit statistics (WAIC and WBIC) reliably identified the true, data-generating model. The real-data analysis highlighted the models' practical utility for examining the likely source of halo effects. The discussion focuses on the models' application in various assessment contexts and points to directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 5","pages":"149"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143955772","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}
