Measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: the implicit association test
Abstract
6.1464) is often used to predict people's behaviors.However, it has shown poor predictive ability potentially because of its typical scoring method (the D score), which is affected by the across-trial variability in the IAT data and might provide biased estimates of the construct.Linear Mixed-Effects Models (LMMs) can address this issue while providing a Rasch-like parametrization of accuracy and time responses.In this study, the predictive abilities of D scores and LMM estimates were compared.The LMMs estimates showed better predictive ability than the D score, and allowed for in-depth analyses at the stimulus level that helped in reducing the acrosstrial variability.Implications of the results and limitations of the study are discussed.

“like physiological measures, the validity of most indirect measures has been established via stimuli of known va- lence, and this knowledge came from studies using self-report measures (e.g., Fazio et al. 1986, Greenwald et al. 1998, Payne et al. 2005).This issue creates the same inferential paradox described for physiological measures.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
