An explanation of reading comprehension across development using models from Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory: Support for integrative models of reading     

Randy Floyd  Elizabeth Meisinger  Noel Gregg  Timothy Keith 《Psychology in the schools》2012,49(8):725-743

The purpose of this research was to investigate the cognitive abilities that explain reading comprehension across childhood and early adulthood. Drawing from the standardization sample of the Woodcock–Johnson III, analyses were conducted with large samples at age levels spanning early childhood to early adulthood: 5 to 6 (n = 639), 7 to 8 (n = 720), 9 to 13 (n = 1,995), 14 to 19 (n = 1,615), and 20 to 39 (n = 1,409). Using a model including factors representing general intelligence, Cattell–Horn–Carroll broad abilities, and reading decoding skills, results revealed significant direct effects for reading decoding skills and Crystallized Intelligence on reading comprehension across all age levels. Memory‐related abilities, processing speed, and auditory processing demonstrated indirect effects on reading comprehension through reading decoding skills. The magnitude of direct and indirect effects varied as a function of age. The results provide support for integrative models of reading that include both direct and indirect effects of cognitive abilities on reading comprehension and for consideration of developmental differences in the cognitive aptitudes predicting reading comprehension. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Human affection exchange: III. discriminative parental solicitude in men's affectionate communication with their biological and nonbiological sons   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Kory Floyd  Mark T. Morman 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(3):310-327

Although several investigations have addressed the nature of communication in men's relationships with their sons, relatively few have focused on positive interaction patterns, such as the exchange of affection, even though affection is of considerable importance to relational maintenance and satisfaction. According to affection exchange theory, affection is such a valuable relational resource because of the contributions it makes to humans’ long‐term viability and reproductive success. As such a resource, it should, thus, be governed by adaptive motivations, among which is the motivation for parents to invest in their children in ways that maximize their long‐term evolutionary success. Using the theory of discriminative parental solicitude, we predicted differences in the amount of affection men communicate to their biological sons, adopted sons, and step‐sons. We tested our predictions in two studies involving a total of 384 males. We discuss implications of the results for explaining the superordinate evolutionary motivations governing affectionate communication.  相似文献   

Marriage and the Parenting Alliance: Longitudinal Prediction of Change in Parenting Perceptions and Behaviors     

Frank J. Floyd  Laura A. Gilliom  Catherine L. Costigan 《Child development》1998,69(5):1461-1479

The study evaluates how marriage and the parenting alliance affect parenting experiences over time. Couples ( N = 79) with school-age children who have mental retardation completed self-report and observational measures of marriage, the parenting alliance, and parenting attitudes and behaviors at 2 periods, 18–24 months apart. Longitudinal structural equation modeling demonstrated significant effects of marital quality on changes over time in self-reports of perceived parenting competence for both the mothers and the fathers, and in observed negative mother-child interactions. Also, in all cases, the parenting alliance mediated the effects of marriage on parenting experiences. There was little evidence of reciprocal causation in which parenting variables predicted change in the quality of marriage and the parenting alliance. Interactions involving child age suggested that teenagers as opposed to younger children were more reactive to negative features of their parents' marital functioning and parenting alliance. Implications are discussed regarding stable but negative marital functioning and regarding possible differences in mothers' and fathers' parenting in the context of marital distress.  相似文献   

DETECTING PARENTAL DECEPTION USING A BEHAVIOR RATING SCALE DURING ASSESSMENT OF ATTENTION‐DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY     

Philip A. Norfolk  Randy G. Floyd 《Psychology in the schools》2016,53(2):158-172

It is often assumed that parents completing behavior rating scales during the assessment of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can deliberately manipulate the outcomes of the assessment. To detect these actions, items designed to detect over‐reporting or under‐reporting of results are sometimes embedded in such rating scales. This study presents the results of an experimental study in which parents (a) read a scenario telling them that their hypothetical son's teacher has suggested their son may have ADHD and (b) considered assigned goals for the assessment. Parents then completed the accompanying Conners 3Parent Short form (Conners 3‐P[S]) in a manner that they believed would achieve their assigned goals. Findings showed that parents are able to engage in deception when completing behavior rating scales. The validity scales embedded in the Conners 3‐P(S), however, demonstrated mixed results for detecting parental deception with the Negative Impression validity scale, accurately detecting attempts to malinger in the majority of cases, whereas the Positive Impression validity scale appears to have little to no diagnostic utility for the detection of defensive responding. Clinicians utilizing behavior rating scales should carefully consider results, and nonresults, obtained from embedded validity scales when interpreting parent responses to behavior rating scales as part of an ADHD assessment.  相似文献

A catalog of models for multiplication and division of whole numbers     

Floyd R. Vest 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》1971,3(2):220-228

Summary The above catalog contains fifteen headings, each of which indicates a collection of families of models for multiplication and division of whole numbers. The catalog refers to somewhat more than sixteen families of models which are easily distinguished one from the other.Not included in the catalog thus far developed are several interpretations of multiplication and division that are also of interest. Among these are models based on the equivalency of denominations of money and various units of measurement. Other interpretations which are of historical interest are those of McLellan and Dewey [15] and Thorndike [24]. The relation between models of operations on whole numbers and models of operations defined on larger universal sets is also of interest. One aspect of this area of interest is the process of constructing models of multiplication and division of whole numbers from such models by altering the rules of the model or delimiting its universal set. For example, one can begin with one of Diénès' models of multiplication of integers [8, pp. 57–58] and make approapriate adjustments and result in a model of multiplication of whole numbers. Other interpretations developed by Diénès are of interest because they involve concretizations of whole numbers which are operators as opposed to states [8, pp. 12, 30; 9, p, 36].These are a great many strategies available for the use of models in teaching the operations on whole numbers. In one such strategy, an educator can define either multiplication or division on some basis (most likely in terms of a model) and then the other can be defined as its inverse.Another strategy is to define each operation in terms of a different model. For example, one might define multiplication in terms of the repeated addition model and division in terms of the repeated subtraction model.Still another type of procedure involves a multiple embodiment strategy in which several interpretations are taught as representing each operation.The choice of a particular strategy would depend upon a great many factors. Some of the factors would be the type of culture and students for which the program is written, the psychological assumptions adopted by the writer, and the writer's knowledge of the domain of models for the operations as well as their relation to the abstract mathematical domain which they represent. This article has contributed to a basis for intelligent decisions in this area by presenting a characterization of the domain of models for multiplication and division of whole numbers and their relation to the abstract operations.  相似文献
