Replication studies in psychological science sometimes fail to reproduce prior findings. If these use methods that are unfaithful the original study or ineffective eliciting phenomenon of interest, then a failure replicate may be protocol rather than challenge finding. Formal pre-data-collection peer review by experts address shortcomings and increase replicability rates. We selected 10 replication from Reproducibility Project: Psychology (RP:P; Open Science Collaboration, 2015) for which...
With AI's advancing technology and chatbots becoming more intertwined in our daily lives, pedagogical challenges are occurring. While can be used various disciplines, they play a particularly significant role medical education. We present the development process of OSCEBot ®, chatbot to train students clinical interview approach. The SentenceTransformers, or SBERT, framework was develop this chatbot. To enable semantic search for phrases, SBERT uses siamese triplet networks build sentence...
Abstract Automatic Item Generation (AIG) refers to the process of using cognitive models generate test items computer modules. It is a new but rapidly evolving research area where and psychometric theory are combined into digital framework. However, assessment item quality, usability validity AIG relative traditional development methods lacks clarification. This paper takes top-down strong approach evaluate in medical education. Two studies were conducted: Study I—participants with different...

Abstract Progress tests (PT) are a popular type of longitudinal assessment used for evaluating clinical knowledge retention and long-life learning in health professions education. Most PTs consist multiple-choice questions (MCQs) whose development is costly time-consuming. Automatic Item Generation (AIG) generates test items through algorithms, promising to ease this burden. However, it remains unclear how AIG-items behave formative (FA) modalities such as compared manually written items....
Recent developments in Europe and Portugal provide a fertile ground for the rise of populism. Despite growing interest topic, there is no reliable tool to gauge Portuguese citizens' populist attitudes date. The Populist Attitudes Scale (POP-AS), developed by Akkerman et al. [1], one best-known instruments measuring attitudes. However, version use population available. This paper describes psychometric validation POP-AS population. Trustworthy measures validity suggested Boateng [2] address...
Risen and Gilovich (2008) found that subjects believed “tempting fate” would be punished with ironic bad outcomes (a main effect), this effect was magnified when were under cognitive load (an interaction). A previous replication study (Frank & Mathur, 2016) used an online implementation of the protocol on Amazon Mechanical Turk failed to replicate both interaction. Before run, authors original expressed concern cognitive-load manipulation may less effective implemented than in lab...
Abstract: The 2019 televised debate between the leaders of two main Portuguese parties for general elections in Portugal drew approximately 2.7 million viewers. Debates constitute a centrepiece campaigns, allowing candidates to showcase their proposals. importance debates election campaigns reflects possible influence changing voters’ perspectives.

[This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to updated research available on arXiv (arXiv:1811.01918)] As modern open-source paradigm makes it easier contribute software projects, number of developers involved in these projects keep increasing. This growth amount more difficult deal with harmful contributions. Recent researches have found that technical and social factors can predict success contributions GitHub. However, do not study relation between introduction bugs. Our aims at...
