Article discussing a growth mixture model and differential growth trajectories for achievement among children retained in first grade.

This article explores student perceptions of their own doctoral-level education and quantitative proficiency.

This article extends previous studies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)'s measure of residents' training progress to examine the validity of ACGME International competency measures for an international setting across emergency medicine (EM) and neurology, and across evaluators.

This article uses a reliability generalization meta-analysis to explore the relationship between study factors and levels of alpha reliability for the 15 subscales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ).

This article assesses the relative performance of threshold selection methods in terms of resolution and reliability for disease mapping.

This article explores the relationship between intimate Domestic Violence and Parental Stress in Mexican women.

Video from the Fall 2018 3 Minute Thesis (3MT®) Final Competition. In this video, Jamie Thomas presents her research methods, findings, and its significance in non-technical language.

Article describes study which investigated interpersonal skills associated with the concept of behavioral artistry (BA), a repertoire of practitioner behaviors including care, attentiveness, and creativity, among others, associated with the effective delivery of applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatment.

This article assesses the knowledge of novice alternative certification teachers in the area of autism intervention.

This book chapter focuses on functional communication, including procedures for establishing speech and the use of one or more augmentative and alternative communication modes.

This article compares two simulation-driven approaches: Bayesian unknown change-point model (BUCP) and simulation modeling analysis (SMA) for three real datasets that exhibit “clear” immediacy, “unclear” immediacy, and delayed effects. In the final analysis, it is recommended that both visual and statistical analyses be conducted for a thorough analysis of SCEDs.

Article asserts that despite the numerous studies on the linguistic environment of early childhood education settings (ECE), most of this work disregards contextual factors that may influence abstract conversations and omits characteristics of children’s verbal participation in these interactions. The authors of the article examine how preschool classroom contexts influenced the abstraction level of children’s conversations and how the context and conversational partners’ language influenced children’s verbal participation.

Article describes study aiming to investigate factors that best predict patient's satisfaction with their emergency department (ED) visit, as well as examine whether patients and their families perceived the factors related to satisfaction similarly.

Article asserts that number lines can benefit students in learning an array of mathematical concepts. This article demonstrates the versatility of integrating number lines into mathematical interventions involving measurement concepts for students with learning disabilities in mathematics.

This article investigates whether the correct number of classes can still be retrieved when a higher level of nesting in multilevel growth mixture model (MGMM) is ignored.

This article provides a review involving a systematic search and analysis of studies aimed at teaching individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to ask questions.

Article reviews several common areas of focus in quantitative methods with the hope of providing guidance on conducting and reporting quantitative analyses. The review addresses causal inferences, measurement issues, handling missing data, testing for assumptions, dealing with nested data, and providing evidence for outcomes.

This article formulates a within-subject Bayesian rate ratio effect size (BRR) for autocorrelated count data that would obviate the need for small sample corrections. The authors illustrate this within-subject effect size using real data for an ABAB design and provide codes for practitioners who may want to compute BRR.

This article is a study examining the extent to which children's concepts of God correspond with their parents' concepts of God. It also examines how parent-context factors and children's executive functioning relate to parent–child conceptual similarity.

This poster discusses an experiential learning activity for the UNT course DFST 3123 Child Development. The goal of the activity is to support student information-seeking and information-processing skills and guide students as they gain skills in identifying, understanding, and applying evidence-based research findings to child development.

This article examines the impact of online and offline interactions for the quality of family relationships.

This article is guided by Lubans et al.'s conceptual framework and examines the longitudinal relationships of physical activity (PA) motivation with leisure-time PA and depressive symptoms among college students over one academic year. The findings suggest sex-specified motivational intervention strategies and PA promotion programs/opportunities are needed to reduce depression symptoms among college students over time.

This article uses simulation studies to examine the impact of ignoring a higher nesting structure in multilevel mixture models.

Article discusses how quality of life and physical activity relate to each other in adults with autism and intellectual disabilities. The authors use Fitbit activity trackers to find connections between physical activity and quality of life of their sample group of autistic adults.
