Description

Explore the foundational concepts of measurement science with Item Response Theory: Principles and Applications by Springer. This text traces the history of Item Response Theory (IRT) from its early roots in the 1930s and 1940s to its emergence as a dominant topic for measurement specialists in the 1970s. Readers will learn about the development of key concepts, such as the Item Characteristic Curve, which was attributed to Ledyard Tucker in 1946. The book provides context on how IRT transitioned from a period of dormancy during the rise of true score theory to becoming a central focus in the field of psychology and testing methodology. This is an essential resource for those studying the evolution and application of measurement models.
