An application of the Linear Logistic Test Model for the construction of a Fluid Intelligence Test

The present article aims at testing –via linear logistic test model (LLTM)– a set of cognitive operations (i.e., rules) influencing the item difficulty of a fluid intelligence test on different samples of students. In Study 1, high school students (n = 1751) were randomly assigned to study and valid...

description The present article aims at testing –via linear logistic test model (LLTM)– a set of cognitive operations (i.e., rules) influencing the item difficulty of a fluid intelligence test on different samples of students. In Study 1, high school students (n = 1751) were randomly assigned to study and validation samples. The former sample served to test a proposed set of rules as variables affecting item difficulty and the latter aided to bring evidences of validity of these rules. In Study 2, university students (n = 162) were recruited to determine whether the influence of these rules on the level of difficulty of the items could be generalized to this new group. Study 1 brings evidence of the viability of a set of cognitive operations underlying the process of solving the items while Study 2 suggests individual differences in respondents’ solution strategies. The same strategy of analysis could be applied to the construction of other tests and may help educators, researchers and decision-makers to improve their pursue of relying on the most refined instruments

En el Estudio 1, estudiantes de colegios (n = 1751) fueron asignados al azar a una muestra “estudio” o a una muestra “validación”. La primera sirvió para poner a prueba el conjunto de reglas propuestas como variables, que podrían afectar la dificultad de los ítems, y la segunda permitió recolectar evidencias de validez de dichas reglas. En el Estudio 2, se reclutaron estudiantes de universidad (n = 162), esto para determinar si la influencia de las reglas sobre el nivel de dificultad de los ítems podía generalizarse a este nuevo grupo. El Estudio 1 aporta evidencias acerca de la validez del conjunto de operaciones cognitivas que subyacen al proceso de resolución de los ítems, mientras que el Estudio 2 sugiere diferencias individuales en las estrategias de resolución de las personas examinadas. La misma estrategia de análisis podría ser aplicada a la construcción de otros tests. Asimismo, podría ayudar a personas educadoras, investigadoras y tomadoras de decisiones en su búsqueda de disponer de instrumentos cada vez más depurados.
