A consolidated guide to recent Knowledge Structure Theory

Knowledge Structure Theory offers a mathematical framework for representing and assessing human knowledge. This volume begins with an introduction to its foundations, then gathers theoretical developments and extensions from the preceding decade alongside applications beyond education. Topics include probabilistic models, polytomous extensions, psychological diagnostics, neuropsychological assessment, and ways to represent and assess cognitive and procedural skills in problem solving. An overview of software for applying KST adds a practical resource dimension to the book’s theoretical coverage. Its combination of foundational material, newer approaches, and application areas makes the volume a reference point for the field’s varied strands of research.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Researchers and graduate-level readers studying Knowledge Structure Theory or mathematical models of knowledge assessment.
  • Readers interested in psychological diagnostics, neuropsychological assessment, or cognitive and procedural skills.
  • Practitioners and researchers seeking an overview of software for applying KST.

Book overview

Founded in 1985 by Jean-Claude Falmagne and Jean-Paul Doignon, Knowledge Structure Theory (KST) constitutes a rigorous and current mathematical theory for the representation and the assessment of human knowledge. The seminal work of these authors initiated a highly active research strand with an ever-growing literature, mostly scattered across various technical journals.

 

Starting from a concise but comprehensive introduction to its foundations, this volume provides a state-of-the-art review of KST. For the first time the volume brings together the most

important theoretical developments and extensions of the last decade and presents new areas of application beyond education, with contributions by key researchers in the field.

 

Among the important advances covered by this book are (1) a comprehensive treatment of probabilistic models in KST; (2) polytomous extensions of the theory; (3) KST-based psychological diagnostics and neuropsychological assessment; (4) the representation and assessment of cognitive skills in problem solving, as well as procedural skills. In addition, this book also includes an overview of available software for the application of KST.
