On Varying Item Difficulty by Changing the Response Format for a Mathematical Competence Test
Austrian Journal of Statistics, 2016 Educational and psychological aptitude and achievement tests employ a variety of different response formats. Today the predominating format is a multiple-choice format with a single correct answer option (at most out of altogether four answer options ...

The psychometric house-of-mirrors: the effect of measurement distortions on agent-based models' predictions [PDF]
, 2023 Agent-based models (ABMs) often rely on psychometric constructs such as 'opinions', 'stubbornness', 'happiness', etc. The measurement process for these constructs is quite different from the one used in physics as there is no standardized unit of measurement for opinion or happiness.

A psychometric appraisal of the DREEM [PDF]
BMC Medical Education, 2012 The quality of the Educational environment is a key determinant of a student centred curriculum. Evaluation of the educational environment is an important component of programme appraisal. In order to conduct such evaluation use of a comprehensive, valid and reliable instrument is essential.

Exploration of the Rate of Forgetting as a Domain-Specific Individual Differences Measure
Frontiers in Education, 2018 Learners differ in their learning aptitude. Modern computerized fact-learning systems take these individual differences into account by adapting repetition schedules to the learner's characteristics.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2019 Understanding patterns of symptom co-occurrence is one of the most difficult challenges in psychopathology research. Do symptoms co-occur because of a latent factor, or might they directly and causally influence one another?

Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2018 In recent years, network models have been proposed as an alternative representation of psychometric constructs such as depression. In such models, the covariance between observables (e.g., symptoms like depressed mood, feelings of worthlessness, and ...

Predicting Human Psychometric Properties Using Computational Language Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Transformer-based language models (LMs) continue to achieve state-of-the-art performance on natural language processing (NLP) benchmarks, including tasks designed to mimic human-inspired "commonsense" competencies. To better understand the degree to which LMs can be said to have certain linguistic reasoning skills, researchers are beginning to adapt ...
