• Measuring Data (2022, background): “Precise definitions of measurement paved the way for Measurement Theory, which examines the quantitative structure that abstract concepts, such as comprehension or (problematically) intelligence (Harrington, 1975), may take (Michell, 1997; Hox and Boeije, 2005).”
• Culturally Competent Assessment: More Than Nonbiased Tests (2002, background): “Harrington (1975) has argued that sampling subpopulations proportionally will lead to tests that are biased against minority populations, since by definition minority populations are undersampled.”
