Investigating the construct measured by banked gap-fill items: Evidence from eye-tracking (2016)
Journal Article
McCray. (2016). Investigating the construct measured by banked gap-fill items: Evidence from eye-tracking. Language Testing, 51-73. https://doi.org/10.1177/0265532216677105

This study investigates test-takers’ processing while completing banked gap-fill tasks, designed to test reading proficiency, in order to test theoretically based expectations about the variation in cognitive processes of test-takers across levels of...

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...
