Spray, Judith A.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1989
Findings of studies examining the effects of presentation media on item characteristics are reviewed. The effect of medium of presentation independent of adaptive methodology in computer-assisted testing was studied through tests of 763 Marine trainees. Conditions necessary for score equivalence between item presentation media are described. (SLD)

De Ayala, R. J.; And Others – 1988
To date, the majority of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) systems for achievement and aptitude testing have been based on the dichotomous item response models. However, current research with polychotomous model-based CATs is yielding promising results. This study extends previous work on nominal response model-based CAT (NR CAT) and compares…

Hansen, Duncan N.; And Others – 1977
A computerized adaptive testing model was assessed in a technical training system. The model, a modification of Lord's flexilevel paradigm, consisted of: the sequencing of test items in a difficulty hierarchy, adaptive entry of students into the test at a difficulty level appropriate to their predicted score, and systematic movement of students…

Hansen, Duncan N.; And Others – 1977
A computerized adaptive testing model was applied to a hierarchically arranged series of subtests within the instructional context of a technical education system. The model was a modification of Lord's flexilevel paradigm; however, it did not allow for individualized entry. Two achievement tests, each divided into five hierarchically related…

Brown, Joel M.; Weiss, David J. – 1977
An adaptive testing strategy is described for achievement tests covering multiple content areas. The strategy combines adaptive item selection both within and between the subtests in the multiple-subtest battery. A real-data simulation was conducted to compare the results from adaptive testing and from conventional testing, in terms of test…
