Abstract
Cognitive theory has made significant impact on theories of aptitude and intelligence. Cognitive tasks (including test items) are viewed as requiring multiple processing stages, strategies, and knowledge stores. Both tasks and persons vary on the processing components. That is, the primary sources of processing difficulty may vary between tasks, even when the tasks are the same item type.
