Predicting L2 reading proficiency with modalities of vocabulary knowledge: A bootstrapping approach (2020, background): “A drawback of the modality is that despite the wealth of proposed scoring formulas to detect false positives, it is still unclear how effective these formulas are (Huibregtse, Admiraal, & Meara, 2002; Mochida & Harrington, 2006).”
The Percentage of Words Known in a Text and Reading Comprehension. (2011, background): “However, it is still unclear how well the adjustment formulas work (Huibregtse, Admiraal, & Meara, 2002; Mochida & Harrington, 2006), so we decided to simply delete participants from the data set who chose too many nonwords, which made their vocabulary scores unreliable.”
Scoring Yes–No vocabulary tests: Reaction time vs. nonword approaches (2012, background): “No test format is time and resource efficient (Mochida & Harrington, 2006).”
Introducing LexTALE: A quick and valid Lexical Test for Advanced Learners of English (2011, result): “The results were mixed: For instance, Cameron (2002) did not find significant correlations between the two test types, while Mochida and Harrington (2006) reported high correlations of above .80.”
