Boyd, Aimee M.; Dodd, Barbara; Fitzpatrick, Steven – Applied Measurement in Education, 2013
This study compared several exposure control procedures for CAT systems based on the three-parameter logistic testlet response theory model (Wang, Bradlow, & Wainer, 2002) and Masters' (1982) partial credit model when applied to a pool consisting entirely of testlets. The exposure control procedures studied were the modified within 0.10 logits…

Gierl, Mark J.; Lai, Hollis; Pugh, Debra; Touchie, Claire; Boulais, André-Philippe; De Champlain, André – Applied Measurement in Education, 2016
Item development is a time- and resource-intensive process. Automatic item generation integrates cognitive modeling with computer technology to systematically generate test items. To date, however, items generated using cognitive modeling procedures have received limited use in operational testing situations. As a result, the psychometric…

Pomplun, Mark – Applied Measurement in Education, 2007
This study investigated the usefulness of the bifactor model in the investigation of score equivalence from computerized and paper-and-pencil formats of the same reading tests. Concerns about the equivalence of the paper-and-pencil and computerized formats were warranted because of the use of reading passages, computer unfamiliarity of primary…

Bennett, Randy Elliot; Morley, Mary; Quardt, Dennis; Rock, Donald A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2000
Investigated the functioning of a new computer-delivered graphical modeling (GM) response type for use in a graduate admissions assessment using two GM tests differing in item features randomly spiraled among participants. Results show GM scores to be reliable and moderately related to the quantitative section of the Graduate Record Examinations.…
