Caution Indices Based on Item Response Theory.

Tatsuoka, Kikumi K.

Psychometrika, v49 n1 p95-110 Mar 1984

In this study, the statistical properties of extended caution indices are investigated, and their relationships to Guttman scales and to item and person response curves are discussed. Further, these indices are standardized, and an example of their potential usefulness for diagnosing students' misconceptions is shown. (Author/BW)
