Spotting Erroneous Rules of Operation by the Individual Consistency Index.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tatsuoka, Kikumi K.; Tatsuoka, Maurice M. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
This study introduces the individual consistency index (ICI), which measures the extent to which patterns of responses to parallel sets of items remain consistent over time. ICI is used as an error diagnostic tool to detect aberrant response patterns resulting from the consistent application of erroneous rules of operation. (Author/PN)

Basic Algebra Revisited: A Study with 14 Year Olds.
Sleeman, Derek H. – AEDS Monitor, 1985
Reports results obtained when 24 14-year-old students were presented with algebra tasks by a computer-based modeling system and, four months later, comparable paper and pencil tests together with detailed interviews. Comparison of the results revealed profound misunderstandings of algebraic notation and identified classes of strategies used by…

Spurious Correlations in Mathematical Thinking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ben-Zeev, Talia; Star, Jon R. – Cognition and Instruction, 2001
This study investigated whether undergraduate students encode spurious correlations in memory and exhibit them during the learning process leading to ineffectual problem solving. Findings suggested that even experienced students relied on surface-structure feature-algorithm correlations for solving new problems. Findings pose implications for…

Buggy.
Barclay, Tim – Mathematics Teaching, 1980
A computer program named BUGGY is described. The program is designed to duplicate "traditional" student mathematical mistakes; pupils are to identify the nature of the errors the computer makes. (MP)

The Use of Information from Wrong Responses in Measuring Students' Achievement.
Birenbaum, Menucha; Tatsuoka, Kikumi K. – 1980
Much valuable information can be gained by analyzing the students' wrong responses. When a student answers a free response item she/he gives the response which she/he considers to be the correct one. Therefore, diagnosing the algorithm that led the student to his/her answer provides an important source of information for assessing his/her…
