Measurement and structural invariance of cognitive ability tests after computer-based training
作者:
Highlights:
• The link between computer-based training and high-stakes assessments was investigated.
• Training and selection test data of 15,752 pilot trainee applicants was analyzed.
• The amount of training predicted test performance in curvilinear fashion as expected.
• The ability test scores' structure was invariant across different amounts of training.
• Free training was not linked to the psychometric structure of the high-stakes tests.
