“…As it concerns estimation of the latent trait, the correlation of the true values of 0 used to generate data with the values estimated by the MHA was 0. (Bloxom, 1985;Maris, 1993;McGill & Gibbon, 1965;Millsap & Meredith, 1987;Thissen, 1983). The further development of survival analysis models in psychometrics seems particularly vital at this point in time, when a trend in mental testing is toward computerized administration (Thissen).…”

“…A strategy for incorporating response latency into psychometric modeling has been proposed recently by Bloxom (1985); therefore, a review of the relevant literature will not be attempted here. Here we will focus on a discussion of modeling response latency as an extension of models for dichotomous data.…”

“…With the growing interest in the psychometric modeling of response time (Bloxom, 1985;Scheiblechner, 1985;Thissen, 1983), it is likely that estimation procedures tailored to response time will be forthcoming. In the meantime it is possible to obtain estimates of item parameters through estimation procedures designed for the dichotomous case.…”

This paper considers the feasibility of incorporating research results from cognitive science into the modeling of performance on psychometric tests and the construction of test items. The paper focuses on the feasibility of modeling performance on a three‐dimensional rotation task within the context of Item Response Theory (IRT). Three‐dimensional items were chosen because there is a rich literature on the mental models that are used in their solution. To test the feasibility of psychometrically modeling performance on this item type an 80‐item, three‐dimensional rotation test was constructed. An inexpensive computer system was also developed to administer the test and record performance, including response‐time data. Data were collected on high school juniors and seniors. As expected, angular disparity was a potent determinant of item difficulty. The applicability of IRT to these data was investigated by dichotomizing response time at several points and applying standard item parameter estimation procedures. It was concluded that an approach to psychometric modeling that explicitly incorporates information on the mental models examiners use in solving an item is not only workable, but also essential for future developments in psychometrics.

“…Although there is a lot of literature on RT models (for a survey, see Luce, 1986), this literature generally addresses psychonomic issues and does not distinguish between item and person parameters. Some psychometric RT models have been proposed (Bloxom, 1985;Maris, 1993;Micko, 1969Micko, , 1970Scheiblechner, 1979;Thissen, 1983). But apparently, the issue of separability of item and person parameters in the RT context has only been addressed by Scheiblechner (1979), Kisser (1983), andVan Breukelen (1995).…”
