{"pk":25440,"title":"Analyzing chunk pauses to measure mathematical competence:\nCopying equations using ‘centre-click’ interaction","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Mathematical competence can be evaluated by analyzing\npauses between strokes that occurring whilst an individual\ncopies equations. These pauses provide a temporal signal that\nreflects the cognitive effort to process chunks. ‘Centre-click’\ninteraction with a mouse and response grid on a computer\ndisplay is introduced as new technique for measuring the\ntemporal chunk signal. Alternative pause measures and forms\nof normalization are explored. It is shown that centre-click\ncopying can be used to measure mathematical competence","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"chunks"},{"word":"mathematical competence"},{"word":"pauses analysis"},{"word":"graphical interface"},{"word":"copying equations"},{"word":"centre-click"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4cv0p9qw","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Peter","middle_name":"C-H","last_name":"Cheng","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Informatics, University of Sussex","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25440/galley/15064/download/"}]}
