PEBL-List: Although there are papers published using PEBL tests every week, I thought I'd point everyone to two articles that came out today that I have been involved in that are establishing psychometric aspects of particular tests available in the test battery.
1. My graduate students and I just published a paper in the Journal of Problem Solving: Download here: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1169&context=jps It describes a new test of visual-spatial problem solving (the Travelling Salesman Problems, or TSP) that is similar to the trailmaking test. We established test-retest reliability and aspects of specific problems and some correlations. Past researchers have suggested performance in this kind of test is related to fluid intelligence: Mueller, Shane T.; Perelman, Brandon S.; Tan, Yin Yin; and Thanasuan, Kejkaew (2015) "Development of the PEBL Traveling Salesman Problem Computerized Testbed," The Journal of Problem Solving: Vol. 8: Iss. 1, Article 4. http://dx.doi.org/10.7771/1932-6246.1169 2. Brian Piper, myself, and others just published a study in PeerJ that measures test-retest reliability, intercorrelations, and effects of gender on a group of PEBL tests, including TOAV, Pursuit rotor, ptrails, digit span, time wall, BCST, Iowa gambling task, and ToL: Piper BJ, Mueller ST, Geerken AR, Dixon KL, Kroliczak G, Olsen RHJ, Miller JK. (2015) Reliability and validity of neurobehavioral function on the Psychology Experimental Building Language test battery in young adults. PeerJ 3:e1460 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.1460 https://peerj.com/articles/1460/ This would be a great paper to cite if you are using any of those tests, as it points a reader to psychometrics and inter-correlations of the tests.
