Kaya, Yasemin; Leite, Walter L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
Cognitive diagnosis models are diagnostic models used to classify respondents into homogenous groups based on multiple categorical latent variables representing the measured cognitive attributes.

The Multidimensional Structure of Verbal Comprehension Test Items.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Peled, Zimra – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
The multidimensional structure of verbal comprehension test items was investigated. Empirical evidence was provided to support the theory that item tasks are multivariate-multiordered composites of faceted components: language, contextual knowledge, and cognitive operation. Linear and circular properties of cylindrical manifestation were…

Estimates of the Internal Consistency of a Factorially Complex Composite.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Benito, Juana Gomez – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
This study of 852 subjects in Barcelona (Spain) between 4 and 9 years old estimated the degree of consistency among elements of the Borelli-Oleron Performance Scale by taking into account item clusters and subtest clusters. The internal consistency of the subtests rose when all ages were analyzed jointly. (SLD)

Obtaining Information about Learners' Thinking Strategies from Wrong Answers on Multiple-Choice Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Powell, J. C.; Shklov, N. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
An age-dependent answer-selection sequence of answers on multiple-choice tests suggested by previous studies was supported using statistical rather than clinical means. Results with 2,810 students aged 88 months through 241 months given a reading comprehension test twice during a 5-month interval support the systematically connected age-dependent…
