Information-Processing on Intelligence Test Items: Some Response Components

Some thoughts on intelligence in information retrieval

Information retrieval is the process of selectively disseminating relevant information stored among a variety of information objects. A useful method of storing these objects adopts the notion of clustering, where similar objects are placed into homogeneous groups with the expectation that objects within the same group are similar and likely to be relevant to the same queries. The search proces...

general intelligence or speed of information processing?

at the beginning of the present century, problems such as education of mentally retarded children, classification and placement of job applicants in industrial and military organizations, and students selection, gave impetus to the development of intelligence tests and the formulation of theories of intelligence. for many years factorial theories of intelligence dominated the field, but piaget&...

A Lognormal Model for Response Times on Test Items

A lognormal model for the response times of a person on a set of test items is investigated. The model has a parameter structure analogous to the twoparameter logistic response models in item response theory, with a parameter for the speed of each person as well as parameters for the time intensity and discriminating power of each item. It is shown how these parameters can be estimated by a Mar...

Finding Dependent Test Items: An Information Theory Based Approach

In this paper, we propose a new approach to find the most dependent test items in students’ response data by adopting the concept of entropy from information theory. We define a distance metric to measures the amount of mutual independency between two items, and it is used to quantify how independent two items are in a test. Based on the proposed measurement, we present a simple yet efficient a...
