摘要:This paper is aimed at the problem, that the causal origin of an ability test
result can no longer be located, if the existence of a speed-accuracy trade-off
is accepted. In the light of this problem, a method for the separation of skill
and working style is discussed. Based on this, a speed & power test model
for multiple choice situations – using aspects of the inspection time paradigm
and signal detection theory – is described and practical suggestions for
implementing it into psychological tests are given. The postulated model is
consecutively applied on a derivative of the vocabulary test LEWITE
(Wagner-Menghin, 2002) and used for the prediction of test pre-knowledge in the
sense of coached faking. The results show, that test pre-knowledge leads to
better results, but also that it is possible to detect pre-knowledge by
monitoring the working style of a person, operationalised with the model
presented in this paper.
