Preferred Model Selection in the Validation of Scales Involving Hierarchical Dependencies among Learning Tasks.

Bergan, John R.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v5 n3 p232-40 Jul 1980

This study illustrates a process for selecting a preferred model in the validation of hierarchical learning scales. The test performance of 100 8-to 11-year-old children on subtraction tasks involving variations in borrowing are examined. Goodman's response scaling technique is illustrated. (Author/GDC)
