Repeated retrieval practice and item difficulty: does criterion learning eliminate item difficulty effects?
A wealth of previous research has established that retrieval practice promotes memory, particularly when retrieval is successful. Although successful retrieval promotes memory, it remains unclear whether successful retrieval promotes memory equally well for items of varying difficulty. Will easy items still outperform difficult items on a final test if all items have been correctly recalled equ...
متن کاملEstimating Image Segmentation Difficulty
The heavy use of camera phones and other mobile devices all over the world has produced a market for mobile image analysis, including image segmentation to separate out objects of interest. Automatic image segmentation algorithms, when employed by many different users for multiple applications, cannot guarantee high quality results. Yet interactive algorithms require human effort that may becom...
متن کاملAging and confidence judgments in item recognition.
We examined the effects of aging on performance in an item-recognition experiment with confidence judgments. A model for confidence judgments and response time (RTs; Ratcliff & Starns, 2013) was used to fit a large amount of data from a new sample of older adults and a previously reported sample of younger adults. This model of confidence judgments allows us to distinguish between changes evide...
متن کاملThe impact of item-writing flaws and item complexity on examination item difficulty and discrimination value
BACKGROUND Failure to adhere to standard item-writing guidelines may render examination questions easier or more difficult than intended. Item complexity describes the cognitive skill level required to obtain a correct answer. Higher cognitive examination items promote critical thinking and are recommended to prepare students for clinical training. This study evaluated faculty-authored examinat...
متن کاملEstimating the Perceived Difficulty of Pen Gestures
Our empirical results show that users perceive the execution difficulty of single stroke gestures consistently, and execution difficulty is highly correlated with gesture production time. We use these results to design two simple rules for estimating execution difficulty: establishing the relative ranking of difficulty among multiple gestures; and classifying a single gesture into five levels o...
