Abstract: The core of test theory for a new generation of test is the combination of psychometrics and cognitive psychology, which is the key idea of this article. Four factors are supposed underlying response difficulty of Raven's Progressive Matrices: figure complexity, figures format, transformation dimension, and location factor. The hypothesis is tested by linear logistic latent trait model and proved to be valid. The author also present how to use the four factors model in practice.

Key words: theory for a new generation of test, factors of response difficulty, latent trait model

摘要： 该文在以认知和测量相结合为特征的新一代测验理论的指导下,针对项目刺激特征,对影响瑞文测验项目认知难度的因素进行了分析,提取出图块繁简度、整体布局、变化维度和题序等4个因素,然后应用线性逻辑潜在特质模型（LLTM）对这四个因素进行了拟合检验,结果证明提取出的四个因素是有效的。文章还进一步探讨了研究结果在智力测验中的应用。
