Reviews

Tatsuoka is the authority on this topic; she developed it and has published numerous research papers on the topic. ! She is the only person who knows certain things about rule space as written in her book. ! Dr. K. Tatsuoka's book demonstrates rich content and brilliant work [that] provides a possible template for assessing the reliability of the underlying cognitive processes of an assessment. Examples span a rich and wide domain reflecting the author's work in applying rule space to a wide array of assessments. ! The book will absolutely make a significant contribution to the field. ! The audiences in descending order are: researchers and scholars in the area of psychometrics, statistics, quantitative psychology, computer science, and mathematics. ! Course names: cognometrics, or latent class structures or advanced psychometrics ! statistical pattern recognition and classification if taught in stat or math depts. - Gwyneth M. Boodoo, President, GMB Enterprises This book reflects [Dr. K. Tatsuoka's] accomplishments and contributions to educational assessment. It is remarkable in its extensiveness. - Leona Aiken, Arizona State University Dr. K. Tatsuoka's Rule Space Methodology is innovative and illuminating in its ability to assess and delineate the underlying pattern of cognitive skills and knowledge for individuals from a set of test scores. - Lisa Harlow, University of Rhode Island
