ABSTRACT

Response times have often been used as ancillary information to improve parameter estimation. Under the dual processing theory, assuming reading comprehension requires an automatic process, a fast, correct response is an indicator of effective automatic processing. A skilled, automatic comprehender should be high in response accuracy and low in response times. Following this argument, several questions were addressed in this study. First, individuals with higher ability endorsed a correct response more quickly in the reading comprehension assessment, suggesting correct response times provide useful information in discriminating individuals of different abilities. Second, in terms of predicting an external criterion of reading proficiency, the increment of predictive validity of categorized correct response times was larger than the incremental validity of continuous response times based on both correct and incorrect response times. An index reflecting both accuracy and response time yielded higher incremental validity than indices reflecting response time only. Results support response time as manifesting a dimension of interest in its own right, over its inclusion as an ancillary dimension in a multidimensional model.

使用正确项目响应的响应时间提高阅读理解的预测有效性

摘要

响应时间经常被用作辅助信息,以改善参数估计。在双重处理理论下,假设阅读理解需要一个自动过程,那么快速,正确的响应就是有效自动处理的指标。熟练的自动理解器应具有较高的响应精度和较低的响应时间。根据这一论点,本研究解决了几个问题。首先,具有较高能力的个人在阅读理解评估中会更快地认可正确的回答,这表明正确的回答时间为区分不同能力的个人提供了有用的信息。其次,在预测阅读能力的外部标准方面,分类正确的预测有效性的增加响应时间大于基于正确和错误响应时间的连续响应时间的增量有效性。反映准确性和响应时间的索引比仅反映响应时间的索引产生更高的增量有效性。结果支持响应时间,因为响应时间本身表现为感兴趣的维度,而不是将其作为多维模型中的辅助维度。
