Abstract: Any mention of generalizability during a presentation is likely to induce narcolepsy amongst most clinicians. Randomized trials are invaluable and customarily supersede other study designs in guiding clinical decision-making. A timely, relevant, well-designed, properly executed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/07342829221140957
Abstract: In low-stakes testing contexts, there are minimal personal consequences associated with examinee performance. Examples include assessments administered for research, program evaluation, test development, and international comparisons (e.g., Programme for International Student Assessment [PISA]). Because test-taking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1745691620974773
Abstract: Researchers run experiments to test theories, search for and document phenomena, develop theories, or advise policymakers. When testing theories, experiments must be internally valid but do not have to be externally valid. However, when experiments… read more here.
