Analysis of mean learning of normal participants on the Rey Auditory-Verbal learning test

Article Abstract:

Analysis of the mean performance of groups of normal adults and children on the free-recall trials of the Rey Auditory-Visual Learning Test showed that the mean auditory-verbal learning of each group is described by the function R1 + Sln(t), where R1 is a measure of the mean immediate memory span, S is the slope of the mean logarithmic learning curve and ln(t) is the natural logarithm of the trial number t. The result shows that R1 varies with age whereas S is almost constant and yields equations for estimating the effect of these factors on R1.

Investigating different factor structures of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth version: Confirmatory factor analytic findings

Article Abstract:

One promising measure on creating an equally reliable and valid assessment tool for adolescents is the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version. Using confirmatory factor analytic findings, evidence for a three-factor hierarchical model is presented that provides a better fit than the traditional two-factor model.
