1. Convergent questions: What, where, who, and when questions get a person to clarify the specifics of what he or she is thinking.
The majority of test points came from lower-level cognition (convergent) questions (i.e., knowledge and comprehension).
At the end of each half-hour interview, the interviewer scored the student's responses for two types of questions: convergent (i.e., knowledge, comprehension, and application) and divergent (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) using a rating form and scoring rubrics (see Supplemental Material F).
One question about convergent evolution is the mechanism by which it happens.
However, the potential for convergent insertions, and the question of how often this occurs, needs to be addressed.
A major unresolved question concerning convergent extension in animal development is the source of polarizing cues along the axis.
"It's an open question how convergent phenotypes evolve, and it's been hard to get at that [genetically]," says Vincent Lynch, an evolutionary biologist, also at Yale, studying the evolution of pregnancies in mammals.
Strong positive correlations were found between the questionnaire scales and the two global questions, indicating convergent validity.
Cross-loading is an indication that the item may be poorly written and it could affect the factor structure, and can also raise questions about convergent and discriminant validity.
Additionally, to assess the convergent validity, an extra global question ("In general, how would you rate your social support related to pain ") was added at the end of instrument.
Whether this analogous organization may reflect divergent or convergent evolution remains an interesting question.
