A 2PLM-RANK multidimensional forced-choice model and its fast estimation algorithm
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.3758/s13428-023-02315-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHigh-stakes non-cognitive tests frequently employ forced-choice (FC) scales to deter faking. To mitigate the issue of score ipsativity derived, many scoring models have been devised. Among them, the multi-unidimensional pairwise preference (MUPP) framework is a highly flexible and commonly used framework. However, the original MUPP model was developed for unfolding response process and can only handle paired comparisons. The present study proposes the 2PLM-RANK as a generalization of the MUPP model to accommodate dominance RANK f...

Many nonnormalities, one simulation: Do different data generation algorithms affect study results?

Although methodological researchers routinely extend simulation study findings through follow-up work, few studies are ever replicated.

Capturing individual differences in sentence processing: How reliable is the self-paced reading task?
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Feb 20. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02355-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvances in research on language processing have originally come from group-level comparisons, but there is now a growing interest in individual differences. To investigate individual differences, tasks that have shown robust group-level differences are often used with the implicit assumption that they will also be reliable when used as an individual differences measure. Here, we examined whether one of the primary tasks used in psycholinguistic research on language processing, the self-paced reading task, can reliably measure in...

Dimensionality assessment in the presence of wording effects: A network psychometric and factorial approach
This study proposes a procedure for substantive dimensionality estimation in the presence of wording effects, the inconsistent response to regular and reversed self-report items. The procedure developed consists of subtracting an approximate estimate of the wording effects variance from the sample correlation matrix and then estimating the substantive dimensionality on the residual correlation matrix. This is achieved by estimating a random intercept factor with unit loadings for all the regular and unrecoded reversed items. The accuracy of the procedure was evaluated through an extensive simulation study that manipulated ...

Everything you ever wanted to know about the Think/No-Think task, but forgot to ask
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Feb 20. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02349-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Think/No-Think (TNT) task has just celebrated 20 years since its inception, and its use has been growing as a tool to investigate the mechanisms underlying memory control and its neural underpinnings. Here, we present a theoretical and practical guide for designing, implementing, and running TNT studies. For this purpose, we provide a step-by-step description of the structure of the TNT task, methodological choices that can be made, parameters that can be chosen, instruments available, aspects to be aware of, systematic infor...

Standardizing norms for 1286 colored pictures in Cantonese
This study established psycholinguistic norms in Cantonese for a set of 1286 colored pictures sourced from several picture databases, including 750 colored line drawings from MultiPic (Duñabeitia et al., 2018) and 536 photographs selected for McRae et al. (2005) concepts. The pictures underwent rigorous normalization processes. We provided picture characteristics including name and concept agreement, familiarity, visual complexity, and frequency of modal responses. Through correlational analyses, we observed strong interrelationships among these variables. We also compared the current Cantonese norming to other languages ...

Multilevel modeling in single-case studies with zero-inflated and overdispersed count data
This study aimed to deal with zero-inflated and overdispersed count data within a multiple-baseline design (MBD) in single-case studies. It examined the performance of various GLMMs (Poisson, negative binomial [NB], zero-inflated Poisson [ZIP], and zero-inflated negative binomial [ZINB] models) in estimating treatment effects and generating inferential statistics. Additionally, a real example was used to demonstrate the analysis of zero-inflated and overdispersed count data. The simulation results indicated that the ZINB model provided accurate estimates for treatment effects, while the other three models yielded biased es...
