Precision of Warm’s Weighted Likelihood Estimates for a Polytomous Model in Computerized Adaptive Testing (2001, methodology): “Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is of considerable interest to the measurement and research community because of its advantages over traditional paper-and-pencil tests (Kingsbury & Weiss, 1983; Lord, 1977; McBride & Martin, 1983; Urry, 1977; Wainer et al., 1990).”
The method of Adaptive Comparative Judgement (2012, positive): “It is well known that CAT is considerably more efficient than traditional testing (e.g. Wainer 2000), but there are several significant problems with it (e.g. Reckase 2011; van der Linden and Glas 2000), such as transferring to on-screen testing, the need for a very large bank of items, for…”
Bayesian Networks In Educational Testing (2002, methodology): “Since this approach requires computers for the test administration it is often referred to as computerized adaptive testing (CAT), see Wainer et al. (2000) and Linden and Glas (2000). Tests that are automatically tailored to the level of the individual examinees will be referred as adaptive tests.”
Item response theory and clinical measurement. (2009, methodology): “For instance, in cognitive testing, CAT has been shown to significantly shorten assessments without sacrificing score fidelity (Wainer et al. 2000).”
Item Response Theory—A Statistical Framework for Educational and Psychological Measurement (2021, neutral): “A comprehensive review of the practice and statistical theory of CAT can be found in Chang (2015), van der Linden and Glas (2010) and Wainer et al. (2000).”
The European KIDSCREEN approach to measure quality of life and well-being in children: development, current application, and future advances (2013, methodology): “The new initiative is funded by the German federal ministry of Education and Research from 2012 to 2015 (Title of project: Quality of Life in Chronically Ill Children: Development and Validation of Computer-Adaptive Testing in Routine Pediatric Care, Contract No: 01GY1111) and uses the experience ga”
Field procedures in the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS) (2013, methodology): “Although the use of computer adaptive testing (CAT; Wainer, 2000) was carefully considered in this regard, CAT was rejected in the end due to our inability to carry out sufficiently large pilot studies to obtain stable test parameter estimates needed to guide CAT branching.”
