TLDR
In this article, the authors introduce a new measure, termed response time effort (RTE), which is based on the hypothesis that unmotivated examinees will answer too quickly (i.e., before they have time to read and fully consider the item).Abstract:
When low-stakes assessments are administered, the degree to which examinees give their best effort is often unclear, complicating the validity and interpretation of the resulting test scores. This study introduces a new method, based on item response time, for measuring examinee test-taking effort on computer-based test items. This measure, termed response time effort (RTE), is based on the hypothesis that when administered an item, unmotivated examinees will answer too quickly (i.e., before they have time to read and fully consider the item). Psychometric characteristics of RTE scores were empirically investigated and supportive evidence for score reliability and validity was found. Potential applications of RTE scores and their implications are discussed.read more

Using Response Times for Item Selection in Adaptive Testing
TL;DR: This research used a hierarchical modeling framework with separate first-level models for the responses and response times and a second-level model for the distribution of the ability and speed parameters in the population of test takers to retrofit an empirical prior distribution for the ability parameter on each occurrence of a new response time.

Skill and will: test‐taking motivation and assessment quality
TL;DR: In this article, an achievement test score can be viewed as a joint function of skill and will, of knowledge and motivation, but when interpreting and using test scores, the 'will' part is not always acknowled

Using response time to investigate students' test-taking behaviors in a NAEP computer-based study
Yi-Hsuan Lee,Yue Jia +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a five-step procedure was proposed to identify rapid-guessing behavior in a more systematic manner, which involves a non-model-based approach that classifies student-item pairs as reflecting either solution behavior or rapid guessing behavior.

Methodology Review : Evaluating Person Fit
Rob R. Meijer,Klaas Sijtsma +1 more
TL;DR: Person-fit methods based on classical test theory and item response theory (IRT), and methods investigating particular types of response behavior on tests, are examined in this paper, where the usefulness of person-fit statistics for improving measurement depends on the application.
