Summary: This article reviews the impact of various aspects of eye-tracking studies, including the instrument used, methodology, environment, and participants, on the quality of recorded eye-tracking data and obtained eye-movement and gaze measures. It compares existing reporting guidelines with empirical research and published studies and reveals significant variations and inconsistencies. A minimal and flexible reporting guideline is derived based on empirical findings.

Summary: The active inference framework, particularly its formulation as a POMDP, has become increasingly popular for modeling neurocognitive processes. This paper provides a step-by-step tutorial on building POMDPs, running simulations, and fitting models to empirical data. It aims to equip the reader with the necessary background and tools to apply active inference to their own research.

Summary: lab.js is a free, open-source experiment builder that allows researchers to easily build studies for both online and laboratory data collection through a visual interface without programming. It provides high accuracy and precision in measuring presentation and response times, while also allowing customization of study appearance and behavior using html, css, and JavaScript code if needed. Experiments constructed with lab.js can be run locally or published online with ease, integrating with popular data collection platforms for transparent replications and facilitating open, cumulative science.

Summary: The claim that bilingual experience enhances cognitive control has been investigated through studies comparing monolingual and bilingual groups performing executive function tasks. Inconsistent results have led to controversy over whether bilingualism produces cognitive change. This paper argues that the inconsistency lies in the framework used to interpret the results and proposes a more holistic account based on attentional control. The authors suggest that behavioral differences between monolingual and bilingual individuals reflect differences in attentional control efficiency and deployment.

Summary: Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis are two important consecutive steps in the overall analysis process. Researchers split a single sample into two halves using a random split method to conduct the analysis. This paper introduces a new method of splitting samples for factor analysis, which has been tested in simulation studies and real datasets.

Summary: This study investigated the sample size requirements for four commonly used mediation models through Monte Carlo simulations under various simulation conditions. The results provide practical guidelines for substantive researchers to determine the minimum required sample sizes and enhance understanding of factors related to sample size requirements in mediation models.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different quality control checks on the outcome scores of three common screening tools among MTurk workers. The results showed that the use of quality control measures significantly affected the outcome scores of the screening tools, suggesting that quality control questions can have a substantive impact on research findings.

Summary: Some human behaviors with serious societal consequences are often neglected in online research. A new web-based procedure, the Work for Environmental Protection Task (WEPT), has been developed to study consequential pro-environmental behavior, with validation studies showing promising results in measuring actual behaviors and their impacts. The WEPT may present a valuable tool for experimental analysis of pro-environmental behavior and addressing common-method variance in individual difference research, potentially adaptable for studying other societally relevant behaviors.

Summary: Recent research has focused on the relationship between spatial skills and mathematical skills. The findings show a positive moderate association between the two skills, with gender and grade-level not significantly affecting this relationship. Fluid reasoning and verbal skills mediate the relationship between spatial skills and mathematical skills, suggesting a unique connection between the two.

Summary: This study reviews four different methods for estimating the reliability of cognitive task datasets, and recommends using the Monte Carlo splitting method in combination with task design stratification for the most robust results. The effects of different splitting methods on reliability estimates are discussed based on theoretical analysis.

Summary: Face processing tests aim to identify individual differences, including prosopagnosic individuals, typical performers, and super recognisers. The Oxford Face Matching Test (OFMT) was developed to measure these differences across the full range of performance using facial recognition algorithms to obtain unbiased face pair similarity ratings. Results indicate that face perception and memory are poor in prosopagnosic individuals and good in super recognisers.
