Shuford, Emir H., Jr.; Massengill, H. Edward – 1967
Logic and mathematics are used to gain some insight into the effective and efficient application of instruction. A pupil's state of knowledge is represented by the degree of confidence he possesses in the subject matter. A cost, gain, and return from instruction are associated with each possible initial degree of confidence and each instructional…

Bergstrom, Betty A.; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992
Effects of altering test difficulty on examinee ability measures and test length in a computer adaptive test were studied for 225 medical technology students in 3 test difficulty conditions. Results suggest that, with an item pool of sufficient depth and breadth, acceptable targeting to test difficulty is possible. (SLD)

Claridge, Gillian – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2005
This study examines the characteristics and quality of simplification in graded readers as compared to those of "normal" authentic English. Two passages from graded readers are compared with the original passages. The comparison uses a computer programme, RANGE (Nation and Heatley, 2003) to analyse the distribution of high and low frequency words…
