Computerized Adaptive Test Generalizability Theory

Generalizability theory (G-theory) applied to computerized adaptive testing (CAT) evaluates the dependability of adaptive test scores by decomposing score variance across measurement facets such as persons, items, and occasions. Unlike classical test theory, G-theory quantifies multiple simultaneous sources of measurement error, offering a richer reliability picture for adaptively administered assessments.
