For the English speakers, response bias is not informative, as all of the responses were relatively unbiased.
It is possible that age-biased distribution of these variables may have introduced variability that contributed to the observed results, if in fact these variables could be shown to have a significant impact on the present speakers response to BT. Analyses were conducted to examine the influence of these potential confounds in the present data set.
*Dronjic and Helms-Park (2014) further found that native English speakers' responses to syntagmatic association were particularly heterogeneous.
*Dronjic and Helms-Park (2014) found from native English speakers' responses to *Qian and Schedl's (2004) DVK that scoring methods moderated how association relationships (paradigmatic vs. syntagmatic) and administration condition (constrained vs. unconstrained) affected learners' test performance.
In addition, we would add that the reference to native speaker norms and accuracy rate should also consider the age and conceptual development of L2 learners – if the learners are young children, such as in the case of *Schoonen and Verhallen (2008), it would seem questionable to use mature adult native speakers' responses to determine the accuracy rate for item inclusion or exclusion.
Based on native speakers' responses to *Qian and Schedl's (2004) DVK developed for university English L2 learners, *Dronjic and Helms-Park (2014) found that only about 60 and 40.3% of the 40 items were correctly answered by more than 90% of the participants in the constrained and unconstrained condition, respectively.
"I look forward to the Speaker's response so these questions can be resolved".
As relayed by Mr. Weiler, the speaker's response was, "We felt it was the appropriate thing to do".
While Mr. Obama, at his news conference, said he reinforced that he could not negotiate until the government reopened and the debt limit was lifted, a spokesman for Mr. Boehner would not characterize the speaker's response.
The Speaker's response to concerns about the apparently lavish salaries some MPs are paying family members - prompted by the Derek Conway affair - was to set up a committee packed with MPs many of whom themselves have been criticised for the perks they enjoy.
