Publicación A dominance variant under the Multi-Unidimensional Pairwise-Preference framework: Model formulation and Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation(Sage, 2016-08-13) Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Leenen, Iwin; Abad, Francisco ; Hontangas, Pedro; Torre, Jimmy de la; Ponsoda, VicenteForced-choice questionnaires have been proposed as a way to control some response biases associated with traditional questionnaire formats (e.g., Likert-type scales). Whereas classical scoring methods have issues of ipsativity, item response theory (IRT) methods have been claimed to accurately account for the latent trait structure of these instruments. In this article, the authors propose the multi-unidimensional pairwise preference two-parameter logistic (MUPP-2PL) model, a variant within Stark, Chernyshenko, and Drasgow’s MUPP framework for items that are assumed to fit a dominance model. They also introduce a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure for estimating the model’s parameters. The authors present the results of a simulation study, which shows appropriate goodness of recovery in all studied conditions. A comparison of the newly proposed model with a Brown and Maydeu’s Thurstonian IRT model led us to the conclusion that both models are theoretically very similar and that the Bayesian estimation procedure of the MUPP-2PL may provide a slightly better recovery of the latent space correlations and a more reliable assessment of the latent trait estimation errors. An application of the model to a real data set shows convergence between the two estimation procedures. However, there is also evidence that the MCMC may be advantageous regarding the item parameters and the latent trait correlations.Publicación Traditional scores versus IRT estimates on forced-choice tests based on a dominance model(Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de Asturias, 2016) Hontangas, Pedro M.; Leenen, Iwin; de la Torre, Jimmy; Ponsoda, Vicente; Abad, Francisco ; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicenteBackground: Forced-choice tests (FCTs) were proposed to minimize response biases associated with Likert format items. It remains unclear whether scores based on traditional methods for scoring FCTs are appropriate for between-subjects comparisons. Recently, Hontangas et al. (2015) explored the extent to which traditional scoring of FCTs relates to the true scores and IRT estimates. The authors found certain conditions under which traditional scores (TS) can be used with FCTs when the underlying IRT model was an unfolding model. In this study, we examine to what extent the results are preserved when the underlying process becomes a dominance model. Method: The independent variables analyzed in a simulation study are: forced-choice format, number of blocks, discrimination of items, polarity of items, variability of intra-block difficulty, range of difficulty, and correlation between dimensions. Results: A similar pattern of results was observed for both models; however, correlations between TS and true thetas are higher and the differences between TS and IRT estimates are less discrepant when a dominance model involved. Conclusions: A dominance model produces a linear relationship between TS and true scores, and the subjects with extreme thetas are better measured.Publicación Comparing Traditional and IRT Scoring of Forced-Choice Tests(SAGE Publications, 2015-05-19) Hontangas, Pedro M.; de la Torre, Jimmy; Ponsoda, Vicente; Leenen, Iwin; Abad, Francisco ; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicenteThis article explores how traditional scores obtained from different forced-choice (FC) formats relate to their true scores and item response theory (IRT) estimates. Three FC formats are considered from a block of items, and respondents are asked to (a) pick the item that describes them most (PICK), (b) choose the two items that describe them the most and the least (MOLE), or (c) rank all the items in the order of their descriptiveness of the respondents (RANK). The multi-unidimensional pairwise-preference (MUPP) model, which is extended to more than two items per block and different FC formats, is applied to obtain the responses to each item block. Traditional and IRT (i.e., expected a posteriori) scores are computed from each data set and compared. The aim is to clarify the conditions under which simpler traditional scoring procedures for FC formats may be used in place of the more appropriate IRT estimates for the purpose of inter-individual comparisons. Six independent variables are considered: response format, number of items per block, correlation between the dimensions, item discrimination level, and sign-heterogeneity and variability of item difficulty parameters. Results show that the RANK response format outperforms the other formats for both the IRT estimates and traditional scores, although it is only slightly better than the MOLE format. The highest correlations between true and traditional scores are found when the test has a large number of blocks, dimensions assessed are independent, items have high discrimination and highly dispersed location parameters, and the test contains blocks formed by positive and negative items.Publicación The Journey from Likert to Forced-Choice Questionnaires: Evidence of the Invariance of Item Parameters(Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid, 2019-06-21) Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Abad, Francisco ; Schames Kreitchmann, Rodrigo; Leenen, Iwin; Hontangas, Pedro; Ponsoda, VicenteMultidimensional forced-choice questionnaires are widely regarded in the personnel selection literature for their ability to control response biases. Recently developed IRT models usually rely on the assumption that item parameters remain invariant when they are paired in forced-choice blocks, without giving it much consideration. This study aims to test this assumption empirically on the MUPP-2PL model, comparing the parameter estimates of the forced-choice format to their graded-scale equivalent on a Big Five personality instrument. The assumption was found to hold reasonably well, especially for the discrimination parameters. In the cases in which it was violated, we briefly discuss the likely factors that may lead to non-invariance. We conclude discussing the practical implications of the results and providing a few guidelines for the design of forced-choice questionnaires based on the invariance assumption.Publicación Hematic Antegrade Repriming Reduces Emboli on Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Randomized Controlled Trial(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2023-03) Blanco Morillo, Juan; Salmerón Martínez, Diego; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Arribas Leal, Jose María; Puis, Luc; Verdú Verdú, Alicia; Martínez Molina, Mercedes; Tormos Ruiz, Encarnación; Sornichero Caballero, Angel; Ramírez Romero, Pablo; Farina, Piero; Cánovas López, Sergio; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicenteParticulate and gaseous microemboli (GME) are side effects of cardiac surgery that interfere with postoperative recovery by causing endothelial dysfunction and vascular blockages. GME sources during surgery are multiple, and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is contributory to this embolic load. Hematic antegrade repriming (HAR) is a novel procedure that combines the benefits of repriming techniques with additional measures, by following a standardized procedure to provide a reproducible hemodilution of 300 ml. To clarify the safety of HAR in terms of embolic load delivery, a prospective and controlled study was conducted, by applying Doppler probes to the extracorporeal circuit, to determine the number and volume of GME released during CPB. A sample of 115 patients (n = 115) was considered for assessment. Both groups were managed under strict normothermia, and similar clinical conditions and protocols, receiving the same open and minimized circuit. Significant differences in GME volume delivery (control group [CG] = 0.28 ml vs. HAR = 0.08 ml; p = 0.004) and high embolic volume exposure (>1 ml) were found between the groups (CG = 30.36% vs. HAR = 4.26%; p = 0.001). The application of HAR did not represent an additional embolic risk and provided a four-fold reduction in the embolic volume delivered to the patient (coefficient, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.08–0.72; p = 0.01), which appears to enhance GME clearance of the oxygenator before CPB initiation.Publicación Worldwide mapping of initiatives that integrate population cohorts(Frontiers Media, 2022-10-03) Rico Uribe, Laura Alejandra; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Rodríguez Laso, Ángel; Vorstenbosch, Ellen; Weser, Andreas J.; Fincias, Laura; Marcon, Yannick; Rodriguez Mañas, Leocadio; Haro, Josep María; Ayuso Mateos, José Luis; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicentePublicación Can we reliably measure the general factor of intelligence (g) through commercial video games? Yes, we can!(Elsevier, 2015-11) Quiroga, M. Ángeles; Escorial, Sergio; Román, Francisco J.; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Jarabo, Andrea; Privado, Jesús; Hernández, Miguel; Gallego, Borja; Colom, Roberto; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicenteHere we show, for the very first time, that commercial video games can be used to reliably measure individual differences in general intelligence (g). One hundred and eighty eight university undergraduates took part in the study. They played twelve video games under strict supervision in the laboratory and completed eleven intelligence tests. Several factor models were tested for answering the question of whether or not video games and intelligence tests do measure the same underlying high-order latent factor. The final model revealed a very high relationship between the high-order latent factors representing video game and intelligence performance (r = .93). General performance scores derived from video games and intelligence tests showed a correlation value of .963 (R2adjusted). Therefore, performance on some video games captures a latent factor common to the variance shared by cognitive performance assessed by standard ability tests.Publicación Diagnostic accuracy of the Spanish version of the 4AT scale (4AT-ES) for delirium screening in older inpatients(Elsevier, 2022-07) Delgado Parada, E.; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Saiz Ruiz, J; Cebollada Gracia, A.; Ayuso Mateos, J.L.; Cruz Jentoft, A.J.; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicenteAbstract Background and objectives The 4AT scale is a sensitive tool for screening delirium, which can be applied rapidly in clinical settings without any specific training. It has not been translated, adapted, and validated to assess Spanish older adults. The aims of the study are: to translate and adapt to Spanish culture the 4AT scale, to present evidence of the diagnostic accuracy of this version (4AT-ES) when applied in non-specialized hospital wards, and to assess the loss of diagnostic accuracy in presence of risk factors. Methods A prospective sample was independently assessed on the 4AT-ES and the reference standard. One hundred and twenty-one inpatients (70+ years) for whom a psychiatric assessment was requested were included. Out of them, 50 were diagnosed with delirium. Nurses without specific training applied the 4AT-ES, and experienced psychiatrists cast the reference standard diagnosis (DSM-V criteria). Results Patients with delirium were older and had more risk factors (more previous delirium episodes, a higher likelihood of prior dementia/cognitive impairment) than controls. The 4AT-ES had excellent validity, sensitivity (96%) , and specificity (83.1%). The area under the curve was 0.918; in the subsample with any of those risk factors, its value did not decrease. Conclusion The 4AT-ES version of the 4AT scale was developed. When applied by non-specifically trained, nursing staff it showed excellent validity, sensitivity, and specificity, even in a subsample with previous risk factors. All indices were comparable to the original version. We recommend its use for efficient delirium screening in hospitalized older patients with suspected delirium.Publicación Cohort Profile: The Spanish Longitudinal Study on Ageing and Health (Edad Con Salud)(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-17) Lara, Elvira; Miret, Marta; Olaya, Beatriz; Caballero, Francisco Félix; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Moneta, María Victoria; Haro, Josep Maria; Ayuso Mateos, José Luis; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicentePublicación Effect of External Irrelevant Distracters on a Visual Search Test in School-Age Children: Computerized Assessment(Sage Journals, 2021-08-13) Quiroga, M. Ángeles; Santacreu, J.; López-Cavada, C.; Capote, E.; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel Vicente; Morillo Cuadrado, Daniel VicenteObjective: This study aimed to test the effect of an irrelevant external distracter included in a computer-administered visual search test. Two hypotheses were tested: (a) If the distracter affects performance, attention efficiency will be lowered; (b) if children do not habituate to the distracter, performance will be lower for every item of the test. Method: Distraction was induced changing the screen color unexpectedly several times in each trial—450 children (225 girls and 225 boys) from second to sixth course were tested. This group was compared with a group of 423 children from the same age range who were tested with the same test without distraction. Results: Induced distraction reduced attention efficiency for all ages and for every trial in the treatment group (test with distraction). Speed was lower, but number of errors did not increase. Conclusion: School-age children cope with an irrelevant external distracter by reducing speed, not accuracy.
