THE IMPACT OF SITUATIONAL TEST ANXIETY ON RETEST EFFECTS IN COGNITIVE ABILITY TESTING: A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING APPROACH

The Impact of Situational Test Anxiety on Retest Effects in Cognitive Ability Testing: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

When a cognitive ability MAG W D is assessed repeatedly, test scores and ability estimates are often observed to increase across test sessions.This phenomenon is known as the retest (or practice) effect.One explanation for retest effects is that situational test anxiety interferes with a testee’s performance during earlier test sessions, ther

Implementation and Comparison of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Techniques in Combined Economic Emission Dispatch of an Independent Power Plant

This paper presents the optimization of fuel cost, emission of NOX, COX, and SOX gases caused by the generators in a thermal power plant using penalty factor approach.Practical constraints such as generator limits and power balance were considered.Two contemporary metaheuristic techniques, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA
