This study investigated the cognitive processing of 30 test-takers while completing the Aptis Listening Test. The research studied test-takers’ processes according to ones targeted at the different item
levels in the Aptis Test.

Specifically, it... Read More about Looking into listening: Using eye-tracking to establish the cognitive validity of the Aptis Listening Test.

BACKGROUND: The sample size required to power a study to a nominal level in a paired comparative diagnostic accuracy study, i.e. studies in which the diagnostic accuracy of two testing procedures is compared relative to a gold standard, depends on th...

P23 The creation and validation of a robust and brief psychometric tool to assess the challenge of living with cystic fibrosis using a genetic algorithm: the CLCF-short form (CLCF-SF) (2016)
Presentation / Conference
McCray, G., Hope, H., Glasscoe, C., Southern, K., & Lancaster, G. (2016, September). P23 The creation and validation of a robust and brief psychometric tool to assess the challenge of living with cystic fibrosis using a genetic algorithm: the CLCF-short form (CLCF-SF). Poster presented at Society for Social Medicine, 60th Annual Scientific Meeting, University of York, UK

Background Caring for a child with cystic fibrosis (CF) is a significant daily commitment for parent/caregivers. A tool that quantifies the challenge and the impact on the parent/caregivers would be useful, both clinically to monitor treatment burden...

Looking into test-takers' cognitive processes whilst completing reading tasks: a mixed-method eye-tracking and stimulated recall study (2015)
Report
Brunfaut, T., & McCray, G. (2015). Looking into test-takers' cognitive processes whilst completing reading tasks: a mixed-method eye-tracking and stimulated recall study. British Council

This research examined the cognitive processing of 25 test-takers while completing Aptis reading tasks. The study investigated test-takersʼ task processing in general, and according to a number of task and test-taker characteristics. More specificall...
