A model is proposed for the time to respond or abandon an item and for the probability of abandoning it or answering it correctly. In…

Lin, Miao-Hsiang – 1986
Specific questions addressed in this study include how time limits affect a test's construct and predictive validities, how time limits affect an examinee's time allocation and test performance, and whether the assumption about how examinees answer items is valid. Interactions involving an examinee's sex and age are studied. Two parallel forms of…
