In cognitive diagnostic assessment a property of the Q-matrix, usually referred to as completeness, warrants that the cognitive attributes underlying the observed behavior can be assessed uniquely. Characterizations of completeness were first derived under the assumption of independent attributes, and are currently under investigation for interdependent attributes. The dominant approach considers so-called attribute hierarchies, which are conceptualized through a partial order on the set of attributes. The present paper corrects and extends previously published results on this issue obtained for conjunctive attribute hierarchy models. Drawing upon results from knowledge structure theory it provides novel sufficient and necessary conditions for completeness of the $Q$-matrix, not only for conjunctive models on attribute hierarchies, but also on more general attribute structures.

This paper tries to establish a connection between knowledge structures and latent class models. We will show that knowledge structures can be interpreted as a special type of constrained latent class model. Latent class models offer a well-founded theoretical framework to investigate the connection of a given latent class model to observed data. If we establish a connection between latent class models and knowledge structures, we can also use this framework in knowledge structure theory. We will show that the connection to latent class models offers us a possibility to construct a knowledge structure by exploratory data analysis from observed response patterns. Other possible applications are the empirical comparison of hypothetical knowledge structures and the statistical test of a given knowledge structure.

Reading and writing performance was observed in 30 adult aphasic patients to determine whether there was a significant difference when stimuli and manual responses were varied in the written form: cursive versus manuscript. Patients were asked to read aloud 10 words written cursively and 10 words written in manuscript form. They were then asked to write on dictation 10 word responses using cursive writing and 10 words using manuscript writing. Number of words correctly read, number of words correctly written, and number of letters correctly written in the proper sequence were tallied for both cursive and manuscript writing tasks for each patient. Results indicated no significant difference in correct response between cursive and manuscript writing style for these aphasic patients as a group; however, it was noted that individual patients varied widely in their success using one writing form over the other. It appeared that since neither writing form showed better facilitation of performance, the writing style used should be determined according to the individual patient’s own preference and best performance.

The present study investigates whether updating an important function of executive control can be driven by unconscious reward cues. Participants had to memorize several numbers and update those numbers independently according to a sequence of arithmetic operations. At the beginning of each trial, a reward (1 euro or 5 cents) was presented, either subliminally or supraliminally. Participants could earn the reward if they found the correct response on the updating task. Results showed better performance when a high (conscious or unconscious) reward was at stake compared to a low reward. This suggests that subliminal information can influence a component process of executive control traditionally thought to require consciousness.
