Similarities Between Clinically Matched and Unmatched Analogue Patient Raters: A Mixed Methods Study
Patient Education and Counseling: Volume 109, Supplement, April 2023, Page 2
Physicians' responses to patient communication were assessed by both clinically matched and unmatched analogue patients (APs). Significant correlations between their ratings indicated consistency in evaluating physician communication skills. Thematic analysis identified twenty-one common themes in both clinically matched and unmatched AP responses, suggesting similar assessments of important behaviors. These findings imply that clinically unmatched APs can effectively substitute for clinically matched ones in evaluating physician communication and offering feedback when the latter are unavailable.

This paper shows that using non-linear functions for equating and score transformations leads to consequences that are not commensurable with classical test theory (CTT). More specifically, a well-known theorem from calculus shows that the expected value of a non-linearly transformed variable does not equal the transformed expected value of this variable.

This guide aims aim to describe practical considerations involved in reading and conducting studies in medical education using Artificial Intelligence (AI), define basic terminology and identify which medical education problems and data are ideally-suited for using AI.
Neural Engineering Techniques for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Volume 2, Pages 63-79
Automated detection of high-functioning autism in adults is a highly challenging and understudied problem. In search of a way to automatically detect the condition, this chapter explores how eye-tracking data from reading tasks can be used.

The US medical education transition from school to residency is resource-intensive. The Coalition for Physician Accountability aims to improve it, emphasizing learner support, diversity, and minimizing conflicts. This study explores key tensions and offers strategies to align the transition with ideal goals, aiding educators and organizations in implementing recommendations.

CSE scores for students from eight schools that moved Step 1 after core clerkships between 2012 and 2016 were analyzed in a pre-post format. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to quantify the effect of the curriculum on CSE performance. Additional analysis determined if clerkship order impacted clinical subject exam performance and whether the curriculum change resulted in more students scoring in the lowest percentiles before and after the curricular change.

This presentation describes the framework informing our approach and present results from analyses of gender effects in The Health and Retirement Study that examine gender differences in the associations observed between education and cognitive measures in older adults.
Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics
This paper brings together approaches from the fields of NLP and psychometric measurement to address the problem of predicting examinee proficiency from responses to short-answer questions (SAQs).

In this article, we first summarise STA (Scanpath Trend Analysis) with its application in autism detection, and then discuss future directions for this research.
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice
This article aims to answer the question: when the assumption that examinees may apply themselves fully yet still respond incorrectly is violated, what are the consequences of using the modified model proposed by Lewis and his colleagues?
