Results showed that mouse metrics exhibited IAT effects that correlated with the IAT effect of RT and showed differences in autobiographical and irrelevant events while RT did not. Our findings suggest the validity of MT in offering measurement of the IAT effect. We also observed different patterns in mouse trajectories and velocity for autobiographical and irrelevant events. Lastly, utilizing MT metric, we identified that the Past Negative Score was positively correlated with IAT effect. Integrating the Past Negative Score and AUC into computational models improved the simulation results. Our model captured the ubiquitous implicit association between autobiographical events and the attribute True, and offered a mechanistic account for implicit bias. Across the traditional IAT and the MT results, we provide evidence that MT-aIAT can better capture the memory identification and with implications in crime detection.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 2","pages":"78"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143051446","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}

DD is impaired in many clinical conditions and changes across development. Many existing automated DD tasks are built on copyrighted software and primarily designed for English speakers, which hinders content editing and accessibility. Given this scenario, we had three objectives: (1) to develop open-source DD software named the \"Waiting Game\" with a user interface (UI) that is easily editable (regarding language, reward type/magnitude and delay duration) via an Excel spreadsheet, and provides automated DD scoring; (2) to create a comprehensive manual (User Guide) to accompany the software; and (3) to assess the software's usability and the clarity of the manual through an online questionnaire completed by experts in cognitive assessment. The software was developed using game design and encompasses three tasks that assess DD under three conditions: (1) hypothetical delays (waiting is imagined) and no real rewards (only points) are gained); (2) real delays (waiting is necessary) and real rewards gained; and (3) real delays and hypothetical rewards. An expert evaluation using the System Usability Scale and the International Test Commission recommendations confirmed the software's suitability. Minor changes were made to the User Guide and UI based on the expert feedback. We conclude that the Waiting Game offers a valid, cost-free, and automated solution for DD assessment that facilitates reward and delay manipulations in hypothetical/real delay and reward paradigms across diverse sociocultural contexts.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 2","pages":"75"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035832","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}

The classical REM is expressed as a linear model and the variance of g is obtained through a framework of components of variance. Although the weaknesses of the REM are negligible in practical terms in a wide range of realistic scenarios, all together, they make up an approximate, simplified version of the meta-analytical random effects model. We present an alternative formulation, as a mixture model, and provide formulas for the expected value, variance and skewness of the marginal distribution of g. A Monte Carlo simulation supports the accuracy of the formulas. Then, unbiased estimators of both the mean and the variance of the true effects are proposed, and assessed through Monte Carlo simulations.

Transparency in reporting these parameters and algorithms is crucial for comparisons across studies.

In this paper, we present Fix8 (Fixate), an open-source GUI tool that offers a novel semi-automated correction approach for eye-tracking data in reading tasks. The proposed approach allows the user to collaborate with an algorithm to produce accurate corrections faster without sacrificing accuracy. Through a usability study (N = 14) we assess the time benefits of the proposed technique, and measure the correction accuracy in comparison to manual correction. In addition, we assess subjective workload through the NASA Task Load Index, and user opinions through Likert-scale questions. Our results show that, on average, the proposed technique was 44% faster than manual correction without any sacrifice of accuracy. In addition, users reported a preference for the proposed technique, lower workload, and higher perceived performance compared to manual correction. Fix8 is a valuable tool that offers useful features for generating synthetic eye-tracking data, visualization, filters, data converters, and eye-movement analysis in addition to the main contribution in data correction.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 2","pages":"72"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11762023/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035644","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}

However, these models present challenges related to overfitting, hierarchical features, non-linearity, and sample size requirements. There are further limitations to be addressed regarding the finite sample performance of priors, including bias, accuracy, and type I error inflation. Bayesian estimation provides the flexibility to treat these issues simultaneously through the use of regularizing priors. In this paper, we aim to compare several Bayesian regularizing priors (ridge, Bayesian Lasso, adaptive spike-and-slab Lasso, and regularized horseshoe). To achieve this, we introduce a multilevel dynamic latent variable model. We then conduct two simulation studies and a prior sensitivity analysis using empirical data. The results show that the ridge prior is able to provide sparse estimation while avoiding overshrinkage of relevant signals, in comparison to other Bayesian regularization priors. In addition, we find that the Lasso and heavy-tailed regularizing priors do not perform well compared to light-tailed priors for the logistic model. In the context of multilevel dynamic latent variable modeling, it is often attractive to diversify the choice of priors. However, we instead suggest prioritizing the choice of ridge priors without extreme shrinkage, which we show can handle the trade-off between informativeness and generality, compared to other priors with high concentration around zero and/or heavy tails.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 2","pages":"71"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11754388/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143021939","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}

Because the standards do - and should - vary from field to field or study to study as is appropriate for the research question, we do not set a rigid recipe for handling eye tracking data, but rather provide a conceptual framework within which researchers can make informed decisions about how to treat their data so that it is most informative for their research question.

For use among children, however, the appropriateness of this resource was yet unknown. Therefore, we set out to develop a children's ICAR: an instrument composed of ICAR-items, which provides a measure of cognitive ability in children between 11 and 14 years of age. The present article discusses the compilation process of the Ch-ICAR drawing from a pilot study, and evaluates its validity based on two additional studies. The pilot study involved 99 primary school pupils and aimed to select items for the Ch-ICAR instrument. Study 1 investigated the basic psychometric qualities of the Ch-ICAR in a sample of 820 secondary school pupils. Study 2 examined the construct validity by cross-validating the Ch-ICAR with on the one hand Raven's 2 Progressive Matrices, and on the other hand the Flemish CoVaT-CHC Basic Version, relying on samples of 91 secondary and 96 primary school pupils, respectively.

Log-linear models are often insufficient to evaluate such hypotheses, as they do not provide enough information on complex relationships between cell probabilities in many real-life applications. These models are usually used to evaluate the relationships between variables using only equality restrictions between model parameters, while specifying theory-based hypotheses often also requires inequality restrictions. Moreover, high-dimensional contingency tables generally contain low cell counts and/or empty cells, complicating parameter estimation in log-linear models. The presence of many parameters in these models also causes difficulties in interpretation when evaluating the hypotheses of interest. This study proposes a method that simplifies evaluating theory-based hypotheses for high-dimensional contingency tables by simultaneously addressing each of the above problems. With this method, theory-based hypotheses, which are specified using equality and/or inequality constraints with respect to (functions of) cell probabilities, are evaluated using an AIC-type information criterion, GORICA. We conduct a simulation study to evaluate the performance of GORICA in the context of contingency tables. Two empirical examples illustrate the use of the method.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 2","pages":"70"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11754365/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143021937","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}
