Five decades of item response modelling

Abstract

An historical and theoretical review is provided of so called item response theory (IRT), more accurately described as item response modelling (IRM). This paper looks at 50 years of IRM and finds a disappointing lack of advance. It is shown how a linear model framework, involving different response transformations, unifies separate approaches to the study of test item responses.
