Models of Decisionmaking Processes for Multiple-Choice Test Items: An Analysis of Spatial Ability.

Wilcox, Rand R.; Wilcox, Karen Thompson

Journal of Educational Measurement, v25 n2 p125-36 Sum 1988

Use of latent class models to examine strategies that examinees (92 college students) use for a specific task is illustrated, via a multiple-choice test of spatial ability. Under an answer-until-correct scoring procedure, models representing an improvement over simplistic random guessing are proposed. (SLD)
