PsyMCA

This annual conference series began in 2004. The mission is to promote the use of state of the art psychometric and related data analytic methods in cognitive aging research. Specific objectives are to expose developing and established researchers in cognitive aging to modern psychometric techniques, expose experts in psychometric theory and methods to the practical and theoretical concerns of cognitive aging research, and encourage collaborative research among researchers, psychometricians, and statisticians. Didactic training addresses basics of item response theory, latent variable modeling, longitudinal data analysis, causal inference, and other data analytic methods relevant to the studies and data sets being used. Video recordings of didactic content started in 2017, and are made available publicly on this channel.
