Attributes of words, such as frequency and imageability, can influence memory for order. In serial recall, Hulme, Stuart, Brown, and Morin (Journal of Memory and Language, 49(4), 500-518, 2003) found that high-frequency words were recalled worse, and low-frequency words better, when embedded in alternating lists than pure lists. This is predicted by associative chaining, wherein each recalled l...

The study explored the impact of CT on 8 th grade students’ achievement in mathematics. The experiment was conducted using Solomon Four-Group on 118 students in a public sector school in Punjab province. Two volunteer mathematics’ teachers from the sampled school and the 2nd researcher participated in the experiment. Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) was used to measure the academic achievemen...

Musical instrument education has mental and physical processes. The purpose of this study, which discusses the process, is to develop a scale find out perceptions about effect imagery on performance instrument. twenty-item form was prepared for sent experts, content validity rate items established based feedback received. Items with value below thirty percent were excluded from scope study. As ...

Many situations exist in which a latent construct has both ordinal and continuous indicators. This presents a problem for the applied researcher because standard measurement models are not designed to accommodate mixed ordinal and continuous data. I address this problem by formulating a measurement model that is appropriate for such mixed multivariate responses. This model unifies standard norm...

Estimates of gene-environment interactions (GxE) in behavior genetic models depend on how a phenotype is scaled. Inappropriately scaled phenotypes result in biased estimates of GxE and can sometimes even suggest GxE in the direction opposite to its true direction. Previously proposed solutions are mathematically complex, computationally demanding and may prove impractical for the substantive re...

BACKGROUND The researcher role is highly debated in qualitative research. This article concerns the researcher-researched relationship. METHODS A group of health science researchers anchored in various qualitative research traditions gathered in reflective group discussions over a period of two years. RESULTS Efforts to establish an anti-authoritarian relationship between researcher and res...
