Zusammenfassung. Am Beispiel des Rechnens in der Grundschule wird eine Weiterentwicklung des amerikanischen „Curriculum – based measurement” demonstriert. Ein ganzes Jahr lang erhalten 190 Kinder aus sieben Grundschulklassen und drei Sonderschulklassen alle zwei Wochen einen Rechentest. Bei den Tests handelt es sich um Zufallsstichproben aus Grundgesamtheiten von Aufgaben, die dem Lehrziel für jedes der Schuljahre entsprechend definiert sind. Für jedes Kind und jeden Termin wird eine eigene neue Zufallsstichprobe generiert, so dass kein Test zweimal gegeben wird, ein jeder aber die geforderte Fertigkeit kontentvalide erfasst. Solche Tests lassen sich als kriteriumsorientierte Binomialtests darstellen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird (1) das ursprüngliche Konzept und seine Weiterentwicklung kurz vorgestellt, (2) empirisch getestet, ob das neue Verfahren geeignet ist, von Klassenlehrern vertretbar eingesetzt zu werden, und (3) werden Ausblicke auf dringend erwünschte weiterführende Forschungen geboten. Die vorgelegten Daten erlauben, das Spektrum von Verläufen auf Klassen- wie Individualebene zu dokumentieren, aber auch, die Probleme und vielversprechenden Möglichkeiten des Ansatzes kritisch offen zu legen.

Abstract. Although attention control accounts for a unique portion of the variance in working memory capacity (WMC), the way in which attention control contributes to WMC has not been thoroughly specified. The current work focused on fractionating attention control into distinctly different executive processes and examined to what extent key processes of attention control including updating, shifting, and prepotent response inhibition were related to WMC and whether these relations were different. A number of 216 university students completed experimental tasks of attention control and two measures of WMC. Latent variable analyses were employed for separating and modeling each process and their effects on WMC. The results showed that both the accuracy of updating and shifting were substantially related to WMC while the link from the accuracy of inhibition to WMC was insignificant; on the other hand, only the speed of shifting had a moderate effect on WMC while neither the speed of updating nor the speed of inhibition showed significant effect on WMC. The results suggest that these key processes of attention control exhibit differential effects on individual differences in WMC. The approach that combined experimental manipulations and statistical modeling constitutes a promising way of investigating cognitive processes.

Grammatical gender has been shown to provide natural gender information about human referents. However, due to formal and conceptual differences between masculine and feminine forms, it remains an open question whether these gender categories influence the processing of person information to the same degree. Experiment 1 compared the semantic content of masculine and feminine grammatical gender by combining masculine and feminine role names with either gender congruent or incongruent referents (e.g., Dieser Lehrer [masc.]/Diese Lehrerin [fem.] ist mein Mann/meine Frau; This teacher is my husband/my wife). Participants rated sentences in terms of correctness and customariness. In Experiment 2, in addition to ratings reading times were recorded to assess processing more directly. Both experiments were run in German. Sentences with grammatically feminine role names and gender incongruent referents were rated as less correct and less customary than those with masculine forms and incongruent referents. Combining a masculine role name with an incongruent referent slowed down reading to a greater extent than combining a feminine role name with an incongruent referent. Results thus specify the differential effects of masculine and feminine grammatical gender in denoting human referents.

Abstract. The importance of various trait dimensions explaining positive global self-esteem has been the subject of numerous studies. While some have provided support for the importance of agency, others have highlighted the importance of communion. This discrepancy can be explained, if one takes into account that people define and value their self both in individual and in collective terms. Two studies ( N = 367 and N = 263) examined the extent to which competence (an aspect of agency), morality, and sociability (the aspects of communion) promote high self-esteem at the individual and the collective level. In both studies, competence was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the individual level, whereas morality was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the collective level.
