Evidence about Partial Information from an Answer-until-Correct Administration of a Test of Spatial Reasoning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hutchinson, T. P. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1986
Qualitative evidence for the operation of partial knowledge is given by two findings. First, performance when second and subsequent choices are made is above the chance level. Second, it is positively related to first choice performance. A number of theories incorporating partial knowledge are compared quantitatively. (Author/LMO)

Establishing a Causal Model for Bloom's Taxonomy through Path Analysis.
O'Hara, Takeshi; And Others – 1978
Path analysis was used to reanalyze Kropp and Stoker's data from tests designed to evaluate Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives in the cognitive domain. Scores for 1,128 students in grades nine through twelve were analyzed separately by grade level for four content areas on six taxonomic levels. A measure of general ability was also…

Reckase, Mark D. – 1986
The work presented in this paper defined conceptually the concepts of multidimensional discrimination and information, derived mathematical expressions for the concepts for a particular multidimensional item response theory (IRT) model, and applied the concepts to actual test data. Multidimensional discrimination was defined as a function of the…

The Effect of Item Presentation on Item Difficulty and Discrimination in Language-Usage Tests.
Huntley, Renee M.; Carlson, James E. – 1986
This study compared student performance on language-usage test items presented in two different formats: as discrete sentences and as items embedded in passages. American College Testing (ACT) Program's Assessment experimental units were constructed that presented 40 items in the two different formats. Results suggest item presentation may not…
