Cognitive psychology has extensively used response time as a measure of processing. Following the cognitive paradigm shift in psychometrics, item level response time can be unobtrusively collected in a computer-based testing situation and used to illuminate the cognitive processing of examinees. Assuming that different strategies require different amounts of processing time, response time can be used to infer the existence of examinee strategies. Current test models assume that examinees use the same strategy for item completion, but differential strategy usage necessitates multiple task models. Test administration conditions further impact the strategy used by examinees by changing the speed-accuracy relationship. In three studies, response time data from three samples administered under distinct time conditions were used to increase the construct validity of the abstract reasoning ability trait estimate. In Study 1, response time was used to detect multiple examinee strategies to investigate the construct representation aspect of construct validity by determining a need for multiple processing models. Latent profile analysis was used to detect examinee classes based on response time patterns. The mean latent class response time per item was plotted along with accuracy. Examinee classes were described as solution-seeking characterized by longer-than-average latency and high accuracy or rapid-guessing with faster-than-average latency and low accuracy. Study 2 used mixture distribution modeling to determine the proportion of examinees that exhibited rapid-guessing behavior on each item. Item position and item difficulty were used to account for individual item differences in the amount of rapid-guessing that occurred on each item. The speededness of the test was also discussed. Study 3 addressed the nomothetic span aspect of construct validity and showed that excluding responses made by rapid-guessers resulted in increased item difficulty estimates, decreased standard errors of the difficulty estimate, and decreased item discrimination estimates. Solution-seeking examinees had a stronger relationship between abstract reasoning ability and verbal and mathematical ability than did the rapid-guessing examinees, but rapid-guessers had a stronger relationship between abstract reasoning ability and performance on an air-traffic controller task. Implications of the research to construct validity research and methodological considerations were also discussed.
