Developing a video-based method to compare and adjust examiner effects in fully nested OSCEs (2018)
Journal Article
Yeates, P., Cope, N., Hawarden, A., Bradshaw, H., McCray, G., & Homer, M. (2019). Developing a video-based method to compare and adjust examiner effects in fully nested OSCEs. Medical Education, 53(3), 250-263. https://doi.org/10.1111/medu.13783

Background:
Whilst averaging across multiple examiners judgements reduces unwanted overall score variability in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), designs involving several parallel circuits of the OSCE require that different examin...

Comparatively salient: examining the influence of preceding performances on assessors' focus and interpretations in written assessment comments. (2018)
Journal Article
Yeates. (2018). Comparatively salient: examining the influence of preceding performances on assessors' focus and interpretations in written assessment comments. Advances in Health Sciences Education, 937-959. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10459-018-9841-2

Recent literature places more emphasis on assessment comments rather than relying solely on scores. Both are variable, however, emanating from assessment judgements. One established source of variability is "contrast effects": scores are shifted away...

Exploring the Relationship between Examiners’ Memories for performances, domain separation and score variability. (2018)
Journal Article
Yeates, & McCray. (2018). Exploring the Relationship between Examiners’ Memories for performances, domain separation and score variability. Medical Teacher, 1159-1165. https://doi.org/10.1080/0142159X.2018.1463088

Background: OSCE examiners' scores are variable and may discriminate domains of performance poorly. Examiners must hold their observations of OSCE performances in "episodic memory" until performances end. We investigated whether examiners vary in the...

A randomised trial of the influence of racial stereotype bias on examiners’ scores, feedback and recollections in undergraduate clinical exams (2017)
Journal Article
Yeates. (2017). A randomised trial of the influence of racial stereotype bias on examiners’ scores, feedback and recollections in undergraduate clinical exams. BMC Medicine, 179 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-017-0943-0

Asian medical students and doctors receive lower scores on average than their white counterparts in examinations in the UK and internationally (a phenomenon known as “differential attainment”). This could be due to examiner bias or to social, psychol...

Hawks, Doves and Rasch decisions: Understanding the influence of different cycles of an OSCE on students' scores using Many Facet Rasch Modeling (2016)
Journal Article
Yeates. (2016). Hawks, Doves and Rasch decisions: Understanding the influence of different cycles of an OSCE on students' scores using Many Facet Rasch Modeling. Medical Teacher, 92-99. https://doi.org/10.1080/0142159x.2017.1248916

INTRODUCTION: OSCEs are commonly conducted in multiple cycles (different circuits, times, and locations), yet the potential for students' allocation to different OSCE cycles is rarely considered as a source of variance-perhaps in part because convent...

Relatively speaking: contrast effects influence assessors’ scores and narrative feedback (2015)
Journal Article
Yeates, P., Cardell, J., Byrne, G., & Eva, K. W. (2015). Relatively speaking: contrast effects influence assessors’ scores and narrative feedback. Medical Education, 49(9), 909-919. https://doi.org/10.1111/medu.12777

Context
In prior research, the scores assessors assign can be biased away from the standard of preceding performances (i.e. ‘contrast effects’ occur).

Objectives
This study examines the mechanism and robustness of these findings to advance under... Read More about Relatively speaking: contrast effects influence assessors’ scores and narrative feedback.

Are Examiners’ Judgments in OSCE-Style Assessments Influenced by Contrast Effects? (2015)
Journal Article
Yeates, P., Moreau, M., & Eva, K. (2015). Are Examiners’ Judgments in OSCE-Style Assessments Influenced by Contrast Effects?. Academic medicine : journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges, 90(7), 975-980. https://doi.org/10.1097/acm.0000000000000650

Purpose
Laboratory studies have shown that performance assessment judgments can be biased by “contrast effects.” Assessors’ scores become more positive, for example, when the assessed performance is preceded by relatively weak candidates. The autho... Read More about Are Examiners’ Judgments in OSCE-Style Assessments Influenced by Contrast Effects?.

Seeing the ‘black box’ differently: assessor cognition from three research perspectives (2014)
Journal Article
Gingerich, A., Kogan, J., Yeates, P., Govaerts, M., & Holmboe, E. (2014). Seeing the ‘black box’ differently: assessor cognition from three research perspectives. Medical Education, 48(11), 1055-1068. https://doi.org/10.1111/medu.12546

Context
Performance assessments, such as workplace-based assessments (WBAs), represent a crucial component of assessment strategy in medical education. Persistent concerns about rater variability in performance assessments have resulted in a new fie...

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome following left pneumonectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (2013)
Journal Article
Califano, R., Hsu, J. K., Summers, Y., Peck, R., Pemberton, L., Yeates, P., …Taylor, P. (2014). Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome following left pneumonectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. Cancer Treatment Communications, 2(1), 1-3. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctrc.2013.09.001

Introduction
Lobectomy or pneumonectomy represents the treatment of choice for resectable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The location of heart and great vessels, liver and spleen changes considerably following pneumonectomy as a con...
