Items follow a constructed-response format, requiring examinees to provide answers in a pre-specified structure.
The remaining items followed a similar distribution.
Assessment items followed a specific order.
Scores on the knowledge of delirium items followed a normal distribution.
The initial items followed a vignette of a 73-year-old white man with well controlled hypertension treated with amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide who presented for routine follow-up.
Within each of the sections 1 to 3, items follow a randomised sequence in order to avoid bias due to phenomena like "response set".
All items followed a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 6, where: 0 - has not acquired any competence, 1 - has acquired the minimum competences... 6 - has acquired the maximum competences.
Additionally, errors were higher when items followed a pass-by or toward-avatar vector, as compared to their mirrored directions [movement direction: F 3, 39) = 5.78, p <.005, ηp =.31].
The items follow a 5-point Likert-type scale [ 13] with three different sets of responses: i) poor, fair, good, very good, excellent; ii) not at all, slightly, moderately, very, extremely; iii) never, seldom, quite often, very often, always.
The 12 SRHI items followed a stem ('[e.g., Eating unhealthy snacks] is something…'…'…I do automatically') and were measured on a 1 7 scale on which three points were labelled (1 = strongly disagree, 4 = neither agree nor disagree, and 7 = strongly agree).
