“…Over the last 25 years, a number of groups have addressed these issues. 42,[56][57][58][59]60,61 One group in particular has developed their ideas to an advanced level. 42,56,59 However, their work is largely inaccessible to clinicians as it concerns the measurement of reading ability.…”

Rating scales are increasingly used as primary or secondary outcome measures in clinical studies in neurology.1 They are therefore becoming the key dependent variables upon which decisions are made that influence patient care and guide future research. The adequacy of these decisions depends directly on the scientific quality of the rating scales, which is reflected by the increased application of rating scale science

“…They describe salient features of task situations, in ways that both imply domain representations and indicate the kinds of reasoning and knowledge that the student will need to call upon. We shall see that the same representations can provide information to KRs used in other stages of assessment design and delivery, such as task selection and psychometric modeling (Bejar, 2002;Embretson, 1998). Butterfield et al (1985) created a design KR for the domain of letter series tasks described in the previous section.…”

“…Other operations on rules address psychological issues such as memory load, as a function of calculable properties such as "Counts = # moving strings * (period -# adjacent identity relations)." Related operations can be used to address psychometric issues such as task difficulty (as in Embretson, 1998). The design KR for letter series tasks, therefore, has pragmatic connections to the task authoring, psychological argument, and measurement modeling layers of the assessment enterprise.…”

“…No single KR can encompass all this work; multiple, coordinated representations are required. Developing frameworks for assessment design, complete with a conceptual rationale and multiple supporting KRs, has been a focus of research in the assessment community in recent years (e.g., Embretson, 1998;Luecht, 2002, 2007, Wilson, 2005. The next section discusses one such approach in greater detail.…”

Abstract:People use external knowledge representations (KRs) to create, identify, depict, transform, store, share, and archive information. Learning to work with KRs is central to becoming proficient in virtually every discipline. As such, KRs play central roles in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. We describe five key roles of KRs in assessment:1. An assessment is itself a KR, which makes explicit the knowledge that is valued, ways it is used, and standards of good work.2. The analysis of any domain in which learning is to be assessed must include the identification and analysis of the KRs in that domain.3. Assessment tasks can be structured around the knowledge, relationships, and uses of domain KRs.4. "Design KRs" can be created to organize knowledge about a domain in forms that support the design of assessment.5. KRs in the discipline of assessment design can guide and structure domain analyses (re #2), task construction (re #3), and the creation and use of design KRs (re #4).The third and fourth roles are developed in greater detail, through an "evidence-centered" design perspective that reflects the fifth role. Recurring implications of technology that leverage the impact of KRs in assessment are highlighted, including task design supports and automated task construction and scoring. Ideas are illustrated with "generate examples" tasks and simulation tasks for computer network design and troubleshooting.

“…In the 1980s, Just and Carpenter came up with the Strong eye-mind hypothesis. This hypothesis states that when a subject is viewing a word or object, he or she is also processing it cognitively (thinking about it) for exactly the same amount of time he or she is fixating on it [1]. During this time, the Strong eye-mind hypothesis was questioned because of the idea of covert attention, which is the attention to something that one is not looking at.…”

Road safety has an extremely important role in existing transportation systems. Drivers on the road are influenced by various factors (light and temperature conditions, visual smog, environment surrounding, etc.) and driver´s distraction represents the most common cause of road traffic accidents. According our previous researches, we found that visual smog has a negative influence on drivers on the road. However, the task of placing the traffic signs on the roads is to increase road safety, thus positively influencing the driver while driving. The main objective of this article is to measure the visibility of traffic signs on selected roads in specific light conditions (in night). Secondary objective is to measure visibility of roadside advertisement (billboards) near roads that are influencing driver´s distractions in negative way. The mobile ETG technology (eye tracking glasses) has been used as a method for measuring the gaze of the driver's eyes on traffic signs in night conditions. We compared the results from our previous research (daylight conditions) with the obtained results from the current research. On the basis of the comparison of both measurements we can find out differences (positive and negative) in influence of traffic signs and road side advertisements on drivers in various light conditions.
