Abstract

Recent developments of irt psychometric models. Since the publication of Lord's (1952) A theory of test scores until now, large numbers of item response models have been introduced in the psychological and educational field. This fact has implied a great number of researches and scientific papers presented at international meetings or published in specialized journals. There have also been some excellent compilations about the evolution of these models as well as the problems that these models have solved. One of these compilations is the one carried out by van der Linden and Hambleton (1997), who have collected relevant works in the psychometric field. The aim of our work is to carry out a general review of these models presented by van der Linden and Hambleton (1997), without their formal framework and in a simple way, so that people interested in the topic can have a general point of view of the actual state of the art.
