 IRT Helps Shape Direction of College   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Dean noted that until the formation of the IRT, most research in education had “focused upon the learner and the learning process.” The IRT as conceived and developed at the college represented a sharp turn toward the teacher.
An article of faith at the irt was that research into teaching was a collaborative effort that would be incomplete without practicing teachers as part of the process.
In keeping with the collaborative emphasis, the work of the IRT was organized into teams of researchers around the four dimensions of learning: the teacher, the learner, the subject matter, and the setting.

 Psychological Record, The: SEQUENTIAL DEPENDENCIES IN INTERRESPONSE TIMES AND REINFORCEMENT/RESPONSE-COST   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)

Note that a minimum length of IRT-a period within which subjects are prevented from responding-has been employed in several IRT studies (e.g., Platt, 1979).

 What is Item Response Theory, IRT? A Tentative Taxonomy
Debate about IRT sometimes verges on the nonsensical, and certainly on the irascible, because protagonists are using the term in very different senses.
What is disconcerting is that deconstruction is needed in order to determine the IRT definition intended by an author and precisely what models lie within that definition.
"IRT item parameters are not dependent on the sample used to generate the parameters, and are assumed to be invariant (within a linear transformation) across divergent groups within a research population and across populations" (Reeve, 2002).
