Is Lawson's Classroom Test of Formal Reasoning Valid?
Pratt, C.; Hacker, R. G.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v44 n2 p441-48 Sum 1984
A unidimensional latent trait model was used to test a single-factor hypothesis of the Lawson Classroom Test of Formal Reasoning. The test failed to provide a valid measure of formal reasoning. This was a result of test format which neglected aspects of formal reasoning emphasized by Inhelder and Piaget. (Author/DWH)
