TL;DR: In this article, a modified version of a conceptually driven model, which includes an interactive structural mapping component, was hypothesized to describe the pattern of results obtained from the experiments, and three experiments on psychometric analogies examine the explanatory power of the simple conceptually-driven models, and the extent and nature of the interactive effects.

TL;DR: This chapter shows how component latent trait models can be utilized in an information-processing approach to testing, to select items by their cognitive characteristics, to anticipate item difficulty before empirical try-out, and to influence nomothetic span, especially predictive validity.
