Contrasts between constructed-response items and multiple-choice counterparts have yielded but a few weak generalizations. Such contrasts typically have been based on the statistical properties of groups of items, an approach that masks differences in properties at the item level and may lead to inaccurate conclusions. In this article, we examine item-level differences between a certain type of constructed-response item (called figural response) and comparable multiple-choice items in the domain of architecture. Our data show that in comparing two item formats, item-level differences in difficulty correspond to differences in cognitive processing requirements and that relations between processing requirements and psychometric properties are systematic. These findings illuminate one aspect of construct validity that is frequently neglected in comparing item types, namely the cognitive demand of test items. |
