The effects of note-taking on listening comprehension in the Test of English as a Foreign Language
This study examined the effects of taking notes in the portion of the TOEFL listening comprehension section that contains short monologues, or 'mini talks'. These effects were assessed in experimental testing sessions with students in intensive English language programmes and with undergraduate and graduate international students. A multiple-choice questionnaire sur veyed the students' reactions to the opportunity to take notes and their previous…
The relation of multiple-choice cloze items to the Test of English as a Foreign Language
Four categories of multiple-choice (MC) cloze items were examined in relation to the TOEFL. The object was to assess the factor structure of the TOEFL and the potential of distinguishing MC cloze items aimed at reading comprehension (defined in terms of textual constraints ranging across clauses) as contrasted with knowledge of grammar (short-range surface syntax and morphology) or vocabulary. Since it is impossible in principle to distinguish su…
Student major field and text content: Interactive effects on reading comprehension in the Test of English as a Foreign Language
It was hypothesized that a student's academic discipline would interact with the text content in determining performance on the reading passages of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). To test this hypothesis, the present study examined performance on the reading passages in TOEFL forms used in four operational test administrations. The results supported the hypothesis, as students in the two key major-field groups, the humanities/s…
Effects of Test Disclosure on Performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language
Specially constructed "disclosed TOEFL forms" were made available to students in intensive English language programs. Later the students were administered a special TOEFL consisting of items from those disclosed forms as well as a TOEFL consisting of items to which they had not been exposed. Scores on the former test were found to be greater than those on the latter, indicating a "disclosure effect"-i.e., showing that the students studied and rec…
Effects of instructions on children's attention to stimulus components
Effect of pictorial integration on children's incidental learning
Developmental trends in children's incidental learning: Some critical stimulus differences
Hale, G. A., & Piper, R. A. Developmental trends in children's incidental learning: Some critical stimulus differences. Princeton, N. J.: ETS Research Bulletin 72-24, May 1972, 23 pp. Incidental learning in 8- and 12-year-old children was assessed with a variety of stimulus materials. Experiment 1 compared two types of material–(a) geometric figures, whose central and incidental components were shape and color, respectively and (b) stimuli whose …
Children's Ability to Guess the Ages of Adults
Estimates of the ages of adults obtained from 243 boys and 232 girls of elementary and high school age and from 13 men and 42 women of college age showed a marked increase in accuracy at Grade 4 for boys and girls and another sharp increase for the adults
