psimistri newsletter March 2024

New test procedure:

The new test procedure FACE Identification Test (FACE) is now available for use.
The FACE is a multiple-choice test to assess semantic memory. The current adaptation of the FACE consists of a total of 16 items. There are two versions: a paper-pencil test and a digital test. In the paper-pencil version, participants receive a test sheet (A4) on which 16 photographs of famous personalities (actors and actresses) are shown in 16 lines. Each line contains a name of the famous personality and three alternative names as possible answers. The total test duration is approx. 2 – 10 minutes, depending on the individual processing speed. There is 1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for each incorrect answer. The total score of the test therefore varies between 0 and 16. The FACE shows very good psychometric quality criteria and has been used in numerous studies. There are test versions in German.

As an Easter campaign, 10 pieces of CITY Manual and 10 pieces, 100 pieces or 1000 pieces of FACE test protocols will be made available to all newsletter subscribers free of charge.
