Background statement about the GBSM's evaluation history: prior validation "with simulated students", with the present work providing the first real application in a computerized testing system. No empirical statistic is attached to this prior evaluation in the supplied text.

"This generic Bayesian student model had been previously evaluated with simulated students, but a real application was still missing."
