Approximating multidimensionality with asymmetric unidimensional IRT models

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models are widely used even in settings where assessment data exhibit subtle forms of multidimensionality. Recent empirical evidence suggests that when item difficulty is associated with dimensionality, asymmetric item characteristic curves (ICCs) emerge in the unidimensional approximation.

ABSTRACT Foreign languages are often learnt in formal and disembodied environments which may limit the emotional resonance of their vocabulary and their pragmatic usage in real‐life communication. In a context of English as a foreign language (EFL), this study examines whether elaborative processing as a teaching strategy leads to changes in the ...
