Introduction: Ensuring examiner equivalence across distributed assessment locations is a priority within distributed Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) but is challenging as examiners are typically fully nested within locations (i.e. no over...

Enhancing comparability in early child development assessment with the D-score (2024)
Journal Article
van Buuren, S., Eekhout, I., McCray, G., Lancaster, G. A., Waldman, M. R., McCoy, D. C., …Black, M. M. (in press). Enhancing comparability in early child development assessment with the D-score. International Journal of Behavioral Development, 17. https://doi.org/10.1177/01650254241294033

The lack of a valid and interpretable score to track early child development over time is a primary reason for neglecting child development in policymaking. Many instruments exist, but there is no accepted method for comparing their scores across dif... Read More about Enhancing comparability in early child development assessment with the D-score.

Predictors of change in early child development among children with stunting: Secondary analysis of a randomized trial in Uganda (2024)
Journal Article
Mbabazi, J., Pesu, H., Mutumba, R., McCray, G., Ritz, C., Filteau, S., …Olsen, M. F. (in press). Predictors of change in early child development among children with stunting: Secondary analysis of a randomized trial in Uganda. PLOS Global Public Health, 4(8), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgph.0003456

Millions of children under 5 years in low- and middle-income countries fail to attain their development potential with accruing short- and long-term consequences. Low length/height for age (stunting) is known to be a key factor, but there is little d...

Inter-school variations in the standard of examiners’ graduation-level OSCE judgements (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction
Ensuring equivalence in high-stakes performance exams is important for patient safety and candidate fairness. We compared inter-school examiner differences within a shared OSCE and resulting impact on students’ pass/fail categorisation....

Early childhood development forms the foundations for functioning later in life. Thus, accurate monitoring of developmental trajectories is critical. However, such monitoring often relies on time-intensive assessments which necessitate administration...

Using video-based examiner score comparison and adjustment (VESCA) to compare the influence of examiners at different sites in a distributed objective structured clinical exam (OSCE). BMC Medical Education, 23(1), Article 803. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-023-04774-4

Purpose: Ensuring equivalence of examiners’ judgements within distributed objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs) is key to both fairness and validity but is hampered by lack of cross-over in the performances which different groups of examiners o...

Autistic traits modulate the influence of face masks on gaze perception (2023)
Journal Article
Williams, E. H., Thompson, N. M., McCray, G., & Chakrabarti, B. (in press). Autistic traits modulate the influence of face masks on gaze perception. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 14921. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-41900-0

Detecting when others are looking at us is a crucial social skill. Accordingly, a range of gaze angles is perceived as self-directed; this is termed the “cone of direct gaze” (CoDG). Multiple cues, such as nose and head orientation, are integrated du... Read More about Autistic traits modulate the influence of face masks on gaze perception.
