Peer reviewedKingsbury, G. Gage; Houser, Ronald L. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1993
The utility of item response theory (IRT) models in computerized adaptive tests is considered. Measurement questions that have been answered using IRT, and those that might be overlooked because of IRT, are reviewed. Areas in which fuller use of IRT could improve adaptive testing practices are identified. (SLD)
