Hurdles and solutions for cognitive diagnosis
Cognitive diagnostic modeling has become an important field of psychometric research. The models are special because they provide examinees with diagnostic information regarding whether or not they have mastered individual skills in certain area. They provide as meaningful sources of information …

Test Discrimination and Test Construction for Cognitive Diagnosis
"While Cognitive Diagnostic Models, CDMs, can be useful in the analysis and interpretation of existing tests, little has been developed to specify how one might construct a good test using aspects of the CDMs. This paper discusses the derivation of a general CDM index and three attribute level CDM …

Generalized Linear Mixed Proficiency Models for Cognitive Diagnosis
Models for cognitive diagnosis combine discrete latent trait models with constrained latent class analysis, allowing the user to diagnosis the set of abilities an examinee may possess. Following a review of relevant cognitive diagnosis models and commonly used methods of estimation, implementation …

Cluster Analysis for Cognitive Diagnosis: Theory and Applications
Latent class models for cognitive diagnosis often begin with specification of a matrix that indicates which attributes or skills are needed for each item. Then by imposing restrictions that take this into account, along with a theory governing how subjects interact with items, parametric …

Cognitive diagnosis modeling and applications to assessing learning
Chapter 1: Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are restricted latent class models designed to assess test takers' mastery on a set of skills or attributes. With a wide range of applications in education and in psychopathology, various CDMs have been proposed and fitted to response data from different …

Applications of computational statistics in cognitive diagnosis and IRT modeling
… estimability of the parameters for the Unified Cognitive/IRT Model are studies. A calibration procedure for the Unified Model is then proposed. This procedure uses the marginal maximum likelihood estimation approach and utilizes the EM algorithm. It differs from other calibration procedures for …

A multilevel logistic hidden Markov model for learning under cognitive diagnosis
… hidden Markov model for learning based on cognitive diagnosis models, where the probability that a learner acquires the target skill depends not only on the general difficulty of the skill and the learner's mastery of other skills in the curriculum, but also on the effectiveness of the …

Sequential mastery detection and Bayesian learning promotion under cognitive diagnosis models
… of sequential change-detection methods under the cognitive diagnosis models. To that end, we introduce the change-detection methods that involve different set of information. We further introduce a model for the didactic value of items that readily leads to a sequential learning enhancement and …

A Bayesian Framework for the Unified Model for Assessing Cognitive Abilities: Blending Theory With Practicality
… psychometric models for formative assessment, or cognitive diagnosis models, as an introduction to the Reparameterized Unified Model (RUM), a statistically identifiable, practical cognitive diagnosis model developed by the author from the Unified Model of DiBello, Stout & Roussos (1995). At the …

Deconstructing a domain into its cognitive attributes: test construction and data analysis
If a cognitive model of learning provides the framework for both the educational system (i.e., curriculum, instruction, and assessment) and the design of the assessment, then both learning and instruction are optimized (Huff & Goodman, 2007). In this paper I describe the process of creating a …

Some theoretical and applied developments to support cognitive learning and adaptive testing
Cognitive diagnostic Modeling (CDM) and Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) are useful tools to measure subjects' latent abilities from two different aspects. CDM plays a very important role in the fine-grained assessment, where the primary purpose is to accurately classify subjects according to …

Sampling for network motif detection and estimation of Q-matrix and learning trajectories in DINA model
… to educational measurement in psychometrics. Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are partially ordered latent class models to classify students into skill mastery profiles. In educational assessment, these models help researchers analyze students' mastery of skills and learning process based on …

The exploratory Generalized Noisy Inputs, Deterministic “OR” gate model: A duality proof and application
"Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are useful methods for classifying individuals into substantively meaningful latent classes. Recent research applied disjunctive models to psychopathology questionnaires to support clinical diagnoses. We discuss a more general disjunctive model than used in …

Computerized Adaptive Testing---New Developments and Applications
… computation of these two indices. (4) CAT for cognitive diagnosis. Chapter 5 proposes several new item-selection algorithms for cognitive diagnostic CAT and compares them with two methods developed by Xu et al. (2005). The new algorithms feature Bayesian item selection on the basis of …

Statistical issues and developments in time series analysis and educational measurement
… models, restricted latent class models for cognitive diagnosis, and the linear factor analysis model. An aim is to identify distance measures that work well for a variety of models, explore how much knowledge of the underlying model is needed to construct a distance measure that leads to a …

Self-concepts and socioemotional functioning of children with Mild Intellectual Disability (MID) and parents' attributions for their children's academic struggles
… because children with MID may lack a formal cognitive diagnosis, their parents may often be unaware of their intellectual limitations. Unaware parents may erroneously attribute academic difficulties to motivational factors and subsequently respond with more negative/ less positive parenting …

Validation of the Mild Behavioral Impairment-Checklist in Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
… (NPS) are early markers of dementia preceding cognitive impairment. The Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C) was developed to characterize NPS for pre-dementia patients. This thesis examines the validity and utility of the MBI-C for detecting neuropsychiatric symptoms in relation to …
