A Generative Analysis of a Three-Dimensional Spatial Task.

Bejar, Isaac I.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v14 n3 p237-45 Sep 1990

The feasibility of modeling performance on a three-dimensional rotation task within the context of item response theory was examined using 160 high school students. Eighty pairs of three-dimensional Shepard-Metzler figures were used. This approach to psychometric modeling, incorporating research results from cognitive science, appears workable. (SLD)
