In this correlational study, a total of 600 undergraduate psychology students were initially surveyed from the University of Oregon. Using systematic sampling, we assigned a number to each participant and picked 220 students to use for our analysis. The first participant number was 2 and we picked the proceeding participants in intervals of 3. Picks went as follows 2, 5, 8, 11 etc., bringing us to a total of 220 participants. A total of 220 random participants, 113 boys and 107 girls, from…

Results supported the use of the RBMT as both screening and diagnostic tool. (GLASS, 2000). Cognistat known as the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination…

We compare the greyscale, the desaturation and the smart background methods with the original maps and with each other. For this end, we not only analyse in details the resulting visualization, but we also conduct a survey. We asked a panel of people with cartographic training to evaluate the extent to which each method improves the readability of the original map and then to pick the most appropriate one. The greyscale method renders the symbolisation less prominent and it is practical because…

In the next step, the graded response IRT model will be analyzed again for each identified domain, but without the excluded items, and the model fit statistics will be assessed. If the model has a good fit statistics, the best item for each domain will be selected according to the distribution of the threshold values across the latent scale and the discrimination value; item that has threshold values cross the whole latent scale and high discrimination value will be selected. Sample Size Graded…

Typically, a relatively small number of subject or cases is selected from the larger population.” (McMillian, 2012, p.96) According to McMillian (2012), population is a target you want to study to develop knowledge and to create action plans to assist those individuals. An example is when a researcher use a group of students with autism to find out…
