Detecting Item Preknowledge Using Revisits with Speed and Accuracy
Demirkaya, Onur; Bezirhan, Ummugul; Zhang, Jinming
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, v48 n4 p521-542 Aug 2023
Examinees with item preknowledge tend to obtain inflated test scores that undermine test score validity. With the availability of process data collected in computer-based assessments, the research on detecting item preknowledge has progressed on using both item scores and response times. Item revisit patterns of examinees can also be utilized as an additional source of information. This study proposes a new statistic for detecting item preknowledge when compromised items are known by utilizing the hierarchical speed--accuracy revisits model. By simultaneously evaluating abnormal changes in the latent abilities, speeds, and revisit propensities of examinees, the procedure was found to provide greater statistical power and stronger substantive evidence that an examinee had indeed benefited from item preknowledge.
