Knight, Amanda Margaret. "Students' abilities to critique scientific evidence when reading and writing scientific arguments." Thesis, Boston College, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/bc-ir:104146.
Scientific arguments are used to persuade others for explanations that make sense of the natural world. Over time, through the accumulation of evidence, one explanation for a scientific phenomenon tends to take precedence. In science education, arguments make students' thinking and reasoning visible while also supporting the development of their conceptual, procedural, and epistemic knowledge. As such, argumentation has become a goal within recent policy documents, including the Next Generation Science Standards, which, in turn, presents a need for comprehensive, effective, and scalable assessments. This dissertation used assessments that measure students' abilities to critique scientific evidence, which is measured in terms of the form of justification and the support of empirical evidence, when reading and writing scientific arguments. Cognitive interviews were then conducted with a subset of the students to explore the criteria they used to critique scientific evidence. Specifically, the research investigated what characteristics of scientific evidence the students preferred, how they critiqued both forms of justification and empirical evidence, and whether the four constructs represented four separate abilities. Findings suggest that students' prioritized the type of empirical evidence to the form of justification, and most often selected relevant-supporting justifications. When writing scientific arguments, most students constructed a justified claim, but struggled to justify their claims with empirical evidence. In comparison, when reading scientific arguments, students had trouble locating a justification when it was not empirical data. Additionally, it was more difficult for students to critique than identify or locate empirical evidence, and it was more difficult for students to identify than locate empirical evidence. Findings from the cognitive interviews suggest that students with more specific criteria tended to have more knowledge of the construct. Lastly, dimensional analyses suggest that these may not be four distinct constructs, which has important implications for curriculum development and instructional practice. Namely, teachers should attend to the critique of scientific evidence separately when reading and writing scientific arguments

Conventional brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful technique to provide structural information on brain development, and several studies have correlated brain structure modifications with specific learning or behavioral problems (Peterson et al. 2003, Woodward et al. 2005, Kapellou et al. 2006, Woodward et al. 2006). Nevertheless, this technique is not sensitive enough to evidence subtle microstructural changes.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which assesses and quantifies water diffusion in biological tissues at a microstructural level, may provide unique clues to the structure and geometric organization of the cerebral tissues (Le Bihan et al. 2001). DTI takes advantage of the fact that, in the brain, water molecules diffuse more easily in the direction of the fibers than orthogonally to study cortex and white matter (WM). DTI indices like fractional anisotropy (FA), which expresses the fraction of the magnitude of the diffusion tensor attributable to anisotropic diffusion, mean diffusivity (MD), which corresponds to the directionally averaged magnitude of water diffusion, and longitudinal and transverse diffusivity (λ// and λ⊥), which express respectively the parallel and perpendicular diffusion of water molecules, are used to indirectly quantify brain microstructure and evaluate brain damage (Hüppi et al. 1998, Miller et al. 2002, Ment et al. 2009, Liu et al. 2012).
Most previously published studies in neonates limited their analysis to particular zones of the WM, using regions of interest (ROI) to select regions where DTI values are expected to change. Approaches on the basis of ROIs have well-known limitations because strong a priori hypotheses about localization and extent of the effects of interest have to be made (Giuliani et al. 2005). Voxel-based methods of neuroimaging data analysis, such as statistical parametric mapping (SPM), do not have such limitations and have been successfully applied to study age-related DTI changes in adults, DTI differences between preterm and infants at term equivalent age, and brain structural asymmetries in infants (Ashtari et al. 2007, Snook et al. 2007, Gimenez et al. 2008, Dubois et al. 2010).
Studies correlating DTI indices at term equivalent age with later neurodevelopment are scarce and their analysis is limited to the WM, without exploring the cortex (Arzoumanian et al. 2003). Moreover, they use neuropsychological testing where language evaluation is combined with cognitive and motor scales to give an overall cognitive score (Krishnan et al. 2007, Rose et al. 2007, Rose et al. 2009).
The aims of this work were, using a voxel-based analysis of DTI sequences, 1) to evidence new brain regions that experience microstructural modifications along post-menstrual age (PMA) during early development of the human brain, and 2) to correlate regional brain microstructure at term equivalent age with subsequent cognitive, motor and language development at two years corrected age in a population of preterm infants.
We first investigated DTI changes in a population of 22 healthy preterm and 6 term infants covering the life period between 34 and 41 weeks PMA, and found that, besides the already-evidenced FA increase in the corticospinal tract (CST) and callosal radiations, the thalami and the thalamic radiations experienced linear microstructural changes. These changes were interpreted as a marker of regression of cytoplasmic arborization and proliferation of immature oligodendrocytes that wrapped around the axons well before the appearance of myelin (Aeby et al. 2009). Then we looked for nonlinear DTI changes, considering that many of biological processes that occur during development follow a nonlinear course. This yielded negative results, probably due to the small sample size. Therefore, in a second study, we searched for regional linear and nonlinear microstructural changes with PMA throughout the brain in a larger population (65 patients) composed exclusively of preterm neonates scanned between 35 and 43 weeks PMA. This study confirmed the linear FA changes with age previously described and, more importantly, evidenced nonlinear changes in brain structures around the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) and in the right lateral occipitotemporal gyrus (LOTG), with FA decrease between 34 and 39 weeks followed by FA increase from 40 weeks to 43 weeks. The right STS belongs to the speech-processing network and is implicated in prosody but also in inter-individual communicative behavior and face processings in close association with the right LOTG. We suggest that the microstructural modifications in brain structures around the right STS and in the LOTG observed between 35 and 43 weeks of gestation in preterm infants could contribute to the functional maturation of these brain regions with increasing age, in a period of life where voices, prosody and faces represent extremely salient stimuli (Aeby et al. 2012).
In the second part of the thesis, we tested the hypothesis that abnormal local brain microstructure of preterm infants at term equivalent age would affect neurodevelopmental abilities at age 2 years. Therefore, we searched throughout the whole brain to correlate changes of the Bayley-III scores (cognitive, motor and language composite scores) with the regional distribution of MD, FA, λ// and λ⊥. We found that language abilities are negatively correlated to MD, λ// and λ⊥ in the left superior temporal gyrus (STG) in preterm infants. These findings suggest that higher MD, λ// and λ⊥ values at term- equivalent age in the left STG are associated with poorer language scores in later childhood. Consequently, this highlights the key role of the left STG for the development of language abilities in children and suggests that brain DTI might be an interesting tool to assess on an individual basis the development of language in the preterm.
To sum up, in this thesis, we showed that, besides the already-evidenced FA increase in the CST and corpus callosum, the thalami and the thalamic radiations experience linear microstructural changes in the early development of the human brain. We further showed that FA changes nonlinearly with age in brain structures around the right STS and in the right LOTG, which are key regions in verbal and non-verbal communicative behavior. We also showed that voxel-based DTI analysis is able to evidence microstructural changes in the lSTG that are negatively correlated with language development at two years in the preterm at the group level. These results highlight the key role of the lSTG in the development of language in the preterm and suggest that brain DTI might be an interesting tool to predict the development of language on an individual basis.

Ph.D.;
The Cattell-Horn-Carroll Theory of cognitive functioning is a well-validated framework for intelligence. Cross-battery assessment is a means utilizing CHC theory in practice. School psychologists write recommendations with the assumption that teachers understand the cognitive abilities underlying basic academic tasks in the same way. Theoretically, the more similar the understanding of these two groups, the greater the likelihood of appropriate referrals and intervention fidelity. Teacher perceptions of their students' cognitive abilities impact the referrals that they make and intervention strategies that they implement. In this study, teachers and school psychologists were asked to sort basic academic tasks into the CHC broad abilities. The central research questions being asked are as follows: Are school psychologists and teachers equally proficient at identifying the broad cognitive ability demands of a basic academic task? How do the responses of the participants compare to the theoretical model presented? Do teachers and school psychologists become better at identifying the cognitive demands of a task with experience or higher levels of training? In order to answer the first research question, MANOVAs were performed. There was a significant overall difference between groups on their responses. While teachers and school psychologists differed significantly on five of the eight CHC broad ability scales. School psychologists were only significantly better at consistently identifying the basic academic tasks that utilized Fluid Reasoning. To answer the second research question, principal components factor analysis was performed. The factors created displayed limited similarity to the theoretical factors. Pearson correlations between the theoretical factors and the factors created through factor analysis revealed multiple positive correlations that accounted for more than 10% of the variance. The theoretical scales that were more significantly correlated were Fluid Reasoning, Auditory Processing, and Processing Speed. To answer the third research question, Pearson correlations were calculated. This analysis revealed that neither group develops a better understanding of the cognitive abilities required to perform academic tasks with experience. Level of education is not related to accuracy for teachers on any of the items. Level of education is significantly correlated with accuracy in identifying tasks that require Visual Processing for school psychologists.

0.45) were found to be satisfactory indicating for convergent validity. Criterion validity of the scale was found to be significant as well. Analysis indicated that the top 27th percentile of the sample was significantly differenciated from the bottom 27th percentile of the sample (t(74)=9.63, p<
.05). Results revealed Cronbach alpha of .88, and the split half reliability of .79 for the total scale score. Internal consistency of the subscales of the SCAS-P ranged from 0.56 to 0.78. The second aim of this study was to examine the effects of Methylphenidate (MPH) on cognitive abilities, hyperactivity and anxiety level of children with ADHD since MPH is known to be a first line of treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Thirty-six elementary school children, from age seven to twelve were gathered from the local Hospital for the Social Security Office Child Psychiatry Clinic in Ankara via using purposive sampling. Seventeen children who met the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for ADHD were assigned to the drug group, and nineteen children without ADHD were assigned to the comparison group. Bender Gestalt Visual Motor Perception Test, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised subscales, and Vigilance Task developed by the researcher were administered to participant children, for measuring cognitive abilities. Hacettepe ADHD Scale and SCAS-P were administered to parents of the participants for measuring hyperactivity level and child anxiety. Measurements were repeated after a 12-week follow up both for the drug group (N=17) and the comparison group (N=19). In the 12-week period, drug group received MPH treatment, and the comparison group received no interventions regarding ADHD. 2 (Drug group vs. Comparison group) x 2 (Pretest vs. Posttest) mixed ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor was conducted for the results of each measurement scale separately. As expected, MPH treatment revealed improvement in cognitive abilities and hyperactivity level of children with ADHD. All participants were found to have high anxiety scores when first referred to the hospital, and were found to have lower scores of anxiety on posttest. The findings were discussed on the basis of literature and limitations of the present study.

Barn med neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar som Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) och/eller autismspektrumtillstånd (ASD) uppvisar ofta mer eller mindre subtila svårigheter med språk och pragmatik. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka språkliga och pragmatiska förmågor hos barn med ADHD och/eller ASD (D-grupp) jämfört med en kontrollgrupp utan diagnos (ND-grupp). 22 barn med diagnos varav 4 flickor och 18 pojkar i åldrarna 9:4–13:6, och 26 barn i åldrarna 10:5–13:4 rekryterades och testades med ett batteri av språkliga och pragmatiska tester. Deras föräldrar fyllde även i ett formulär om barnens pragmatiska förmågor. D-gruppen hade sämre resultat än kontroll-gruppen i alla tester. Korrelationer hittades mellan flera pragmatiska och språkliga testresultat i D-gruppen, och några korrelationer hittades även i ND-gruppen. Vissa test var speciellt svåra för D-gruppen. Ett försök att finna undergrupper i D-gruppens testresultat via klusteranalys gjordes även, men utan framgång. Resultaten understryker vikten av logopedisk bedömning som del i multiprofessionell neuropsykiatrisk utredning.

Typiskt utvecklade barn med atypisk kulturell bakgrund, flerspråkighet eller låg socioekonomisk status (dvs. barn med språkskillnad) som genomgår språktestning med standardiserade tester förefaller prestera lika på dessa som barn med språkstörning. Detta pga. att de flesta standardiserade tester är skapade för enspråkiga barn med typisk bakgrund. Barnen med språkskillnad riskerar således att bli feldiagnostiserade med språkstörning. Dynamic assessment (DA) har i främst amerikanska studier visat sig vara en fördelaktig bedömningsmetod vid sådana fall, då den har lyckats särskilja barn med språkskillnad från barn med språkstörning. Detta eftersom DA, till skillnad från standardiserade tester, inte undersöker barnets förmåga att klara en viss uppgift vid ett tillfälle, utan istället undersöker barnets förmåga att lära sig att klara av en uppgift (dvs. barnets modifierbarhet). Föreliggande studie avsåg att undersöka hur DA av narrativ förmåga fungerade med svenskspråkiga typiskt utvecklade barn i åldern sex-sju år. Deltagarna genomgick individuell DA med test-teach-retest-design och fick först berätta en saga till en bildsekvens. En aspekt av narrativ förmåga, t.ex. kausalitet, valdes sedan ut och tränades vid en undervisningssession som utgjordes av en så kallad mediated learning experience (MLE). Barnets modifierbarhet under MLE skattades med hjälp av femgradiga skalor för läraransträngning och barnets responsivitet. Därefter följde retest, där varje barn fick berätta en saga till en ny bildsekvens. En jämförelse mellan test och retest skedde. Resultaten visade att tre av deltagarna fick de resultat som förväntats av barn med typisk utveckling. Två deltagare fick resultat som indikerade språkstörning. Materialet som användes bedömdes ha snävt satta bedömningskriterier och svåranvända skript för undervisningssessionerna. Slutsatserna som drogs var (a) att DA-materialet som användes gav en mycket subjektiv bedömning som inte stämde överens med barnets faktiska narrativa förmåga, (b) att MLE-skripten inte var designade på ett helt barnvänligt sätt och (c) inte passade i svensk kontext. Fler och större studier behöver göras för att kunna ge en tydligare bild av hur DA fungerar i svensk kontext. I detta fall vore ett svenskt DA-material önskvärt.

The high ability/giftedness is a multidimensional phenomenon, whose evaluation has become a challenge nowadays, especially when it considers the lack of standardized and validated instruments in Brazil for this purpose. This study aimed to look for evidence of validity (construct and criterion) of a Battery for Assessment of High Ability. The sample was composed of students of the 2nd. year of elementary school to 3rd. year of high school, of both sexes, average age eleven (SD=2,02), divided into 470 students in regular education and 118 students participating in the Student Support Services Program with High Ability. The instrument used was composed of six subtests, four of reasoning (verbal, abstract, numerical and logical) one of figural creativity (Completing figures) and other verbal creativity (Creating Metaphors). Through exploratory factor analysis, we found three factors with eigenvalues of 3.737, 1.535 and 1.093, explaining 70.72% of the total variance, with Factor 1 representing measures Verbal Creativity; Factor 2, Intelligence; and Factor 3, Creativity figural. Correlations were found between the factors, more moderate, between Creativity and Intelligence Verbal (r=0.346). Significant effects of the variable group were noted in relation to evidence RV, RA, RN and RL, as well as factor in test preparation Figural Creativity and Quality characteristic Metaphorical Verbal Creativity Test, demonstrating discriminatory power of these measures in the identification of students with high skills. The results showed evidence of construct validity Battery for Assessment of High Ability in assessing Intelligence, Creativity Figural and Verbal and evidence of criterion validity for identifying high ability students from the subtests of intelligence, and partially through some measures of verbal and figural creativity. Other studies are needed to further investigate the psychometric criteria of the instrument under construction.
As altas habilidades/superdota??o ? um fen?meno multidimensional, cuja avalia??o tem se tornado um desafio nos dias atuais, ainda mais quando se constata a falta de instrumentos validados e normatizados no Brasil para tal fim. Este estudo teve como objetivo buscar evid?ncias de validade (construto e crit?rio) de uma Bateria para Avalia??o das Altas Habilidades. A amostra total foi composta por 588 alunos do 2?. ano do ensino fundamental ao 3?. ano do ensino m?dio, de ambos os sexos, m?dia de idade de 11,11 anos (DP=2,02), divididos em 470 alunos de sala de ensino regular e 118 alunos participantes de Programa de Atendimento ao Aluno com Altas Habilidades. O instrumento utilizado foi composto por seis subtestes, sendo quatro de racioc?nio (Racioc?nio verbal, abstrato, num?rico e l?gico), um de criatividade figural (Completando figuras) e outro de criatividade verbal (Cria??o de Met?foras). Atrav?s da an?lise fatorial explorat?ria, foram encontrados tr?s fatores com eigenvalues de 3,737; 1,535 e 1,093, explicando 70,72% da vari?ncia total, com o Fator 1 representando medidas de Criatividade Verbal, o Fator 2, de Intelig?ncia e o Fator 3, de Criatividade Figural. Correla??es foram encontradas entre os fatores, de forma mais moderada, entre Criatividade Verbal e Intelig?ncia (r=0,346). Efeitos significativos da vari?vel grupo foram notados em rela??o ?s provas RV, RA, RN e RL, bem como no fator Elabora??o no teste de Criatividade Figural e na caracter?stica Qualidade Metaf?rica do teste de Criatividade Verbal, demonstrando poder discriminat?rio dessas medidas na identifica??o dos alunos com altas habilidades. Os resultados apontaram evid?ncias de validade de construto da Bateria para Avalia??o das Altas Habilidades na avalia??o da Intelig?ncia, Criatividade Figural e Verbal e evid?ncias de validade de crit?rio para identifica??o de alunos com altas habilidades a partir dos subtestes de intelig?ncia, e, parcialmente, atrav?s de algumas medidas de criatividade figural e verbal. Outros estudos se fazem necess?rios para melhor investiga??o dos crit?rios psicom?tricos do instrumento em constru??o.

Three studies investigated mathematics achievement from an individual differences perspective, using data from 29,386 German ninth graders who participated in the 2000 cycle of the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). In study 1, different structural models of mathematics achievement were derived from structural theories of cognitive abilities, and tested empirically using confirmatory methods. In a nested-factor model, mathematics achievement was specified to be an additive function of specific mathematical ability (M´) and general cognitive ability (g). This model provided a better fit than the standard model that predominates in psychological research, which assumes that measures of mathematical achievement are only influenced by general mathematical ability (M). In study 2, differences between types of schools were analyzed using confirmatory multigroup factor analytic models. Mean differences in M in the standard model were much stronger than in M´ in the nested-factor model. A school-type-specific differentiation hypothesis for M´ was also investigated. Contrary to predictions, the data provided only limited support for this hypothesis. Study 3 analyzed the validity of mathematics achievement with respect to sociodemographic and motivational student characteristics and school grades. The nested-factor model yielded a much more differentiated pattern of results than the standard model. For example, gender differences (in favor of boys) were much more pronounced in M´ in the nested-factor model than in M in the standard model. The implications and future perspectives of studies 1 to 3 are discussed with respect to psychological and educational research, design of large-scale achievement studies, and educational practice.

The assessment of cognitive abilities of children who have learning disabilities (slow learners) is a major topic in psychology research. This doctorate thesis investigates the cognitive abilities of schoolchildren who have difficulty learning. Two different groups of informants were analyzed. The first group comprised 60 7- and 8-year-old schoolchildren of both genders 30 slow learners and 30 fast learners from two state schools in the State of S?o Paulo, Brazil. The second group comprised 8 primary school teachers also from two state schools in the State of S?o Paulo. We used Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ-III) composed of 10 tests, a questionnaire filled out by the teachers and an analysis of the pupils marks in Portuguese, Math and Science. The results from the Multivariate and Univariate Analysis of Variance showed significant differences between the group of slow learners and the group of fast learners. The Pearson Assessments showed the children s performance improved as they moved to higher grades. The children s marks were consistent with the results from the WJ-III. Therefore we concluded that the cognitive abilities are significantly different between fast and slow learners and that WJ-III can be used to analyze learning disabilities.
A avalia??o das habilidades cognitivas de crian?as que apresentam dificuldades de aprendizagem constitui-se um importante campo de investiga??o psicol?gica. Este estudo objetivou investigar as habilidades cognitivas de crian?as com e sem dificuldades de aprendizagem pela Bateria Woodcock-Johnson. Duas amostras foram compostas: a primeira amostra por 60 crian?as de ambos os sexos, sendo 30 participantes sem indica??o de dificuldades de aprendizagem e 30 com indica??o de dificuldades de aprendizagem, que freq?entavam a primeira e segunda s?rie do Ensino Fundamental de duas escolas p?blicas do interior do estado de S?o Paulo. A segunda amostra foi composta por oito professores de primeira e segunda s?ries de duas escolas p?blicas do interior do estado de S?o Paulo. Utilizou-se a Bateria de habilidades cognitivas Woodcock-Johnson III (WJ III), composta por 10 testes, um question?rio escolar preenchido pelos professores e as notas escolares obtidas em Portugu?s, Matem?tica e Ci?ncias. As An?lises da Vari?ncia Multivariada e Univariada apontaram os efeitos significativos no tipo de grupo e de s?rie escolar das habilidades cognitivas avaliadas pela WJ III. A correla??o de Pearson mostrou a rela??o entre as habilidades cognitivas e os indicadores de dificuldades de aprendizagem, apontados pelo professor, sobre as crian?as com e sem dificuldades de aprendizagem. As notas escolares tamb?m se associaram significativamente aos resultados da WJ III. Desta forma, concluiu-se que existem diferen?as significativas nas habilidades cognitivas entre crian?as com dificuldades e crian?as sem dificuldades de aprendizagem, e que a WJ III ? uma medida v?lida para avaliar tais dificuldades.

This study investigated the cognition and reaction abilities of the bus driver by self-assessment questionnaires and Vienna psychological testing system. Perceptual-motor tests were to examine the variations of bus divers’ abilities. Capabilities of visual search and cognitive responses are used by computerized and integrated assessment model. Sixteen subjects were recruited for study involving visual tracking, pattern recognition, traffic conditions, continuous detection, dynamic stability tests, scanning electron microscopy to track the test, grip strength measurement. Results of dynamic stability control analysis, the path to complete the square takes about 18 seconds to be significantly higher than the circular path and straight path, and left the wrong time and the number of charges are higher than the right hand. The mean grip strength of both hand are about 30 kg. The mean time of one foot standing are about 13 seconds, and significant lower than good balance condition. Electronic microscope completion time was left hand shorter than the right hand, Analysis of self-assessment questionnaire showed that male drivers the potential risk of injury than females. In addition, gender effect found in dynamic stability analysis, electronic mirror tracing tracking and grip strength. Age effect have significant impact on cognitive, visual tracking, continuous detection of traffic tests. In this study applied the multidimensional assessment of bus drivers’ abilities. Results could be improved the management system for the reference license.

The purpose of this study is to establish a spatial cognition and memory ability assessable system for the elderly with dementia. The research purpose of this study is: (1) Developing elder-orient entertainment games to assessment elder spatial cognitive ability. (2) Establishing searching strategy assessable algorithm to analyze the learning effect. (3) Collecting clinical data and the key indicators that are different between normal elder and dementia patient. We collected four groups’ data that includes normal young people, normal middle-aged person, normal elderly and dementia patient amount to 52. The results are showed as following: (1) The result of virtual Morris water maze showed that the latency time and the time percentage in the critical zone will grow as the age increases. (2) The result of card matching game showed that the identification error rate rises with the increase of age. (3) The correct rate of animal manager game (visual edition) reduced and the response time extended with increase of age. (4) The error rate of 12 card matching game obtained significantly high negative correlation with MMSE (-.753), and the other variables including: the latency time, the ratio of time in the critical zone, the reaction time and correct rate of animal manager game had medium correlation with MMSE. (5) The 8 card and 12 card error rate of card matching game were significantly difference in normal elderly and dementia patient. (6) The test-retest reliability analysis of water maze task showed had significantly correlation. (7)In the experiment environment of platform diameter is 16 pixels, the growth rate of hit rate of normal elderly is 13%, but there is no learning effect in dementia patient. (8) The results of spatial strategy analysis showed that the young people and the normal middle-aged person had learning effect visibly. But the normal elderly and the dementia patient will have no change in their search strategy. The learning effect is not apparent.
