Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? The prevalence of the increased efficiency effect in test data is, for the time being, unclear. → Steven Wise 2015

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
The author's explicit statement of an open question in the commentary: "How commonly this effect is present in test data is, for the time being, unclear." No prevalence estimate or data are provided.

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The increased efficiency effect confounds attempts to exploit the speed-ability trade-off central to many response-time models — related
- Test takers tend to increase their time efficiency during MAP test events, an effect the author observed in data from 2 very different testing programs — related
- The increased efficiency effect threatens the validity of response-time models that presume item response time is influenced only by item time intensity, ability, and working speed — related
