Cognitive Abilities and Testing

Abstract Working memory (WM) is often assumed to play a stronger role in mental operations than in pure storage. However, much of the evidence comes from tasks using novel stimuli requiring active maintenance. Everyday cognition, in contrast, often involves operating on information retrieved from long-term memory (LTM…

This study will examine whether changes in reward context trigger the reactivation of working memory representations. Specifically, we will test whether reactivation occurs selectively following reward increases or following any change in reward context.

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most rapidly evolving technologies in recent years and is increasingly being integrated into healthcare, education, and everyday life. Examining university students' attitudes toward this technology is important for understanding their future professio…

There is a large and growing body of literature describing the role of differential item functioning (DIF) in test development and validity. While traditional DIF analyses typically examine demographic variables independently, the intersectional approach aims to provide a more comprehensive investigation of test bias…

Executive functions are key higher-order cognitive processes linked to academic success, psychosocial adjustment, and mental health in the literature (Diamond, 2013). Prior literature often treats “gaming” as a homogeneous activity and does not consistently differentiate structural/mechanical game features and this is…

Psychological science has become increasingly aware that its empirical foundation relies on samples drawn from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. Accumulating evidence suggests that individuals from these contexts differ systematically from the majority of the world’s population…
