The Subskills of Reading: Rule-Space Analysis of a Multiple-Choice Test of Second Language Reading Comprehension.
Buck, Gary; Tatsuoka, Kumi; Kostin, Irene
Language Learning, v47 n3 p423-66 Sep 1997
Used the rule-space methodology to analyze performance on a multiple-choice reading comprehension test by students of English as a Second Language in Japan in an international business setting. Findings indicate that the rule-space methodology can explain performance on complex verbal tasks, such as reading tests, and provide diagnostic scores to test-takers. (42 references) (Author/CK)
