Reinhold S. Jäger, Winfried Krieger, Gabriele E. Dlugosch · International Journal of Selection and Assessment · 1995
The paper reviews and discusses a number of issues relating to the use of computer technology to assist the process of assessing psychologically relevant variables — computer‐assisted diagnostics. A definition of computer‐assisted diagnostics is given and theoretical developments are discussed. The paper emphasizes the need to consider theoretical issues relating to a number of domains: theory of content, test theory, human—computer interaction, programming theory, instructional theory, normative theory and situation theory. The paper concludes with a view of the current situation and future perspectives, and describes some important ethical issues.
