Best practices for your confirmatory factor analysis: A JASP and lavaan tutorial
This article conceptually contributes to this ongoing discussion by presenting a set of guidelines for conducting a typical CFA, drawing from recent empirical research. We provide a practical contribution by introducing and developing a tutorial example within the JASP and lavaan software platforms. Supplementary materials such as videos, files, and scripts are freely available.PMID:38480677 | DOI:10.3758/s13428-024-02375-7 (Source: Behavior Research Methods)

Quantifying tics: Best practices and design considerations for video-based tic coding in research
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02383-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTic disorders (TD), including Tourette Syndrome, are characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements and/or vocalizations that can lead to persistent disability and impairment across the lifespan. Existing research demonstrates that video-based behavioral coding (VBBC) methods can be used to reliably quantify tics, enabling a more objective approach to tic measurement above and beyond standardly used TD questionnaires. VBBC is becoming more popular given the ease and ubiquity of obtaining patient videos. However, rigor and rep...

Mobile version of the Battery for the Assessment of Auditory Sensorimotor and Timing Abilities (BAASTA): Implementation and adult norms
We present normative data obtained with this version of BAASTA from over 100 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 87 years in a test-retest protocol. Moreover, we propose a new composite score to summarize beat-based rhythm capacities, the Beat Tracking Index (BTI), with close to excellent test-retest reliability. BTI derives from two BAASTA tests (beat alignment, paced tapping), and offers a swift and practical way of measuring rhythmic abilities when research imposes strong time constraints. This mobile BAASTA implementation is more inclusive and far-reaching, while opening new possibilities for reliable remote test...

SHAP value-based ERP analysis (SHERPA): Increasing the sensitivity of EEG signals with explainable AI methods
In conclusion, our new method not only offers an analysis approach suitable in situations with limited prior knowledge of the effect in question but also an increased sensitivity capable of distinguishing neural processes with high precision.PMID:38453828 | DOI:10.3758/s13428-023-02335-7 (Source: Behavior Research Methods)

ACE-DNV: Automatic classification of gaze events in dynamic natural viewing
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Mar 6. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02358-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEye movements offer valuable insights for clinical interventions, diagnostics, and understanding visual perception. The process usually involves recording a participant's eye movements and analyzing them in terms of various gaze events. Manual identification of these events is extremely time-consuming. Although the field has seen the development of automatic event detection and classification methods, these methods have primarily focused on distinguishing events when participants remain stationary. With increasing interest in stud...

Lightness constancy in reality, in virtual reality, and on flat-panel displays
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Mar 5. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02352-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVirtual reality (VR) displays are being used in an increasingly wide range of applications. However, previous work shows that viewers often perceive scene properties very differently in real and virtual environments and so realistic perception of virtual stimuli should always be a carefully tested conclusion, not an assumption. One important property for realistic scene perception is surface color. To evaluate how well virtual platforms support realistic perception of achromatic surface color, we assessed lightness constancy in a ...

Statistical indices of masculinity-femininity: A theoretical and practical framework
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02369-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStatistical indices of masculinity-femininity (M-F) summarize multivariate profiles of sex-related traits as positions on a single continuum of individual differences, from masculine to feminine. This approach goes back to the early days of sex differences research; however, a systematic discussion of alternative M-F indices (including their meaning, their mutual relations, and their psychometric properties) has been lacking. In this paper I present an integrative theoretical framework for the statistical assessment of masculinity...

Measuring object recognition ability: Reliability, validity, and the aggregate z-score approach
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02372-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMeasurement of domain-general object recognition ability (o) requires minimization of domain-specific variance. One approach is to model o as a latent variable explaining performance on a battery of tests which differ in task demands and stimuli; however, time and sample requirements may be prohibitive. Alternatively, an aggregate measure of o can be obtained by averaging z-scores across tests. Using data from Sunday et al., Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 151, 676-694, (2022), we demonstrated that aggregate scores fr...

Many morphs: Parsing gesture signals from the noise
Behav Res Methods. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.3758/s13428-024-02368-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParsing signals from noise is a general problem for signallers and recipients, and for researchers studying communicative systems. Substantial efforts have been invested in comparing how other species encode information and meaning, and how signalling is structured. However, research depends on identifying and discriminating signals that represent meaningful units of analysis. Early approaches to defining signal repertoires applied top-down approaches, classifying cases into predefined signal types. Recently, more labour-intensive...
