Beyond Dichotomies in Generalization Research: A Reply to Lee and Schlegelmilch (2025)
Lee and Schlegelmilch (2025) reanalyzed data from Zaman, Yu, and Verheyen (2023), arguing that the role of perception in generalization is overemphasized and that higher level cognitive processes (in the form of a similarity-based rule) provide a better account. In this reply, we make the argument that their reanalysis contains flaws and inconsistencies and present additional evidence for consideration. While acknowledging the role of higher level cognition in generalization, we maintain that the available evidence supports stimulus perception and memory as important predictors. We view this exchange as a reminder that stimulus representation and higher level cognition exist on a spectrum, with their relative importance varying across contexts. Consequently, more research into the interactions between these processes is necessary. We argue that rather than adhering to existing theoretical frameworks, researchers should continue to challenge our understanding of human generalization by incorporating new evidence and insights into existing models and comparing them across diverse contexts. This approach will foster a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of human generalization processes.FWO research project [G079520N]; Postdoctoral Research Fellow of th

Assessment in a Globalized Economy: A Task-based Approach to Assess the Proficiency of Dutch in Specific Occupational Domains
For language tests to be in tune with the target context, a constant attention to the shifting characteristics of real-world language use is required. This holds particularly true for language tests in the occupational domain since domestic labor market demands are continuously changing and increasingly met through the recruitment of foreign workers. This paper describes how subject experts were involved in the cyclical validation process of a test of Dutch for the professional domain. A survey of recruitment agents, employers, policy makers, language instructors, examiners, and former test takers indicated that a task-based test targeting the language skills involved in service-oriented work settings such as administration and health care at level B2 of the CEFR was favored. The involvement of subject specialists recruited among the test’s various stakeholders proved to be of vital importance throughout the development and validation process to ensure content validity and avoid biases.status: Publishe
