Problems of Questions in Event Knowledge Tests

Abstract

"When reviewing application possibilities of event knowledge tests (GKT, CIT, EKT), all authors (Abrams, 1989; Ben-Shakhar and Elaad, 2002; Krzyscin, 1998; Lykken, 1981; Matte, 1997; Nakayama, 2002; Soshnikov et al., 2008) state that the application of event knowledge tests is limited due to the following: 1. It is difficult to formulate a sufficient number of relevant questions; 2. The number of questions reduces because the information about the details of an event is publicised in the media and sometimes it is made public by incompetent criminal police investigators or prosecutors."(...)
