  • Toward an Automatic Method for Generating Topical Vocabulary Test Forms for Specific Reading Passages

    Open AccessMichael Flor, Zuowei Wang et al.ARTICLEETS Research Report Series2026

    Background knowledge is typically needed for successful comprehension of topical and domain-specific reading passages, such as in the STEM domains. However, there are few automated measures of student knowledge that can be readily deployed and scored in time to make predictions on whether a given student will likely be able to understand a specific content-area text. In this research report, we present our effort in developing the K-tool, an auto…

  • Stealth assessment of oral reading fluency during interactive book reading

    Zuowei Wang, Tenaha O’reilly et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Technology…2026

    Oral reading fluency (ORF) assessments are widely used to predict students’ reading proficiency and signal the need for additional instruction. Standardized ORF assessments require substantial resources to develop and take time from instruction to administer; they may also increase test anxiety. To address these concerns, we explored stealth assessment of ORF during book reading. Eighty students (grades 4–5) engaged in interactive book reading th…

  • How Much Should I Read? An Analysis of Word Learning Opportunities in Children's Novels

    Open AccessZuowei Wang, Tenaha O’reilly et al.ARTICLEReading Research Quarterly2025References: 57

    With only about a third of students in US public schools achieving the NAEP Proficient level, many educators believe students are not getting enough reading practice. However, how much reading practice is enough? This study quantifies the relationship between the amount of book reading and the expected number of words learned. We collected 45 children's novels, M(Lexile) = 994 L, or Grade 6, and assembled a corpus of 3.2 million words. When readi…

  • Exploring Thresholds in the Foundational Skills for Reading and Comprehension Outcomes in the Context of Postsecondary Readers

    Open AccessJoseph P Magliano, Amani Talwar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Learning Disabilities2023

    There is a range of reasons why college students may be underprepared to read, but one possibility is that some college students are below a threshold of proficiency in the component skills of reading. The presence of thresholds means that when students fall below that threshold, their proficiency in that component skill of reading is not sufficient for there to be a relationship with comprehension performance. The present study assessed (a) whet…

  • Identifying the Subtypes of Major Depressive Disorder Based on Somatic Symptoms

    Open AccessXiaohui Wu, Yuncheng Zhu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    The results indicate that somatic symptoms should be emphasized in patients with MDD, and more attention is needed for those with moderate somatic symptoms, which may be relevant to a worse prognosis

  • Biochemical and Endocrine Parameters for the Discrimination and Calibration of Bipolar Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder

  • Lower Health Literacy of Mania Than Depression Among Older People

    Open AccessLeping Huang, Ruyan Huang et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Purpose: This study examines health literacy among older outpatients in two Community Healthcare Service Centers in Shanghai, China to facilitate the design of public education programs for the aged population on mood disorders (both depression and mania). Patients and Methods: A total of 173 outpatients aged 60 years or more with a chronic physical illness were randomly sampled. A health literacy questionnaire was used to assess participants' aw…

  • Safety and Tolerability of Both Arm Ischemic Conditioning in Patients With Major Depression

    Open AccessZuowei Wang, Xujuan Li et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    RLIPC was safe and well tolerated, and may be effective in reducing depressive symptoms in patients with MDD. Large studies are warranted to test its efficacy and safety as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in the treatment of MDD

  • Relating Reading Comprehension to Oral Reading Performance in the Naep Fourth‐Grade Special Study of Oral Reading

    Open AccessJohn Sabatini, Zuowei Wang et al.ARTICLEReading Research Quarterly2019Cited by: 8References: 59

    In this secondary analysis study, the authors explored the relations between reading comprehension and oral reading performance in fourth‐grade students, using a data set from the U.S. National Assessment of Educational Progress ( NAEP ) special study of oral reading. The data set consisted of 1,713 students randomly selected from the 140,000 fourth graders who participated in the 2002 main NAEP reading assessment. Oral reading was measured by wo…

  • The effect of pressure on high- and low-working-memory students

    Open AccessZuowei Wang, Priya Shah et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…2014Cited by: 1References: 16

    SampleFifty-three third and fourth graders from China participated in this study.MethodParticipants' working memory (WM) was assessed by the Automated Operation Span task. Then, they solved mental addition problems of different types under low- and high-pressure conditions. Performance was analysed as a function of pressure condition, working memory capacity, and problem type.ResultsOn 'no carry' mental addition problems, there was no difference …
