Kok, Frank G.; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v22 n4 p295-303 Win 1985

A mental multiplication test, containing items written in Dutch, Spanish, and Roman numerals was administered to 286 Dutch students. Further instruction was given in either Spanish or Roman, and a subtest combining languages was given. The iterative logit method was found to be useful in detecting biased test items. (GDC)
