Abstract
This article provides a rationale for computer-assisted testing and assessment, describes systems currently in use, and examines potential benefits, potential problems, and future implications.

The British Journal of PsychiatryPsychiatrists and a Computer as Interrogators of Patients with Alcohol-Related Illnesses: A Comparison
300 Citations1977R. W. Lucas, Patrick J. Mullin +2 more
A computer-administered ‘interview’ was developed for eliciting evidence relating to alcohol problems, and the results from the attitude questionnaire indicated a high level of acceptability to patients of computer interrogation.
Behavior Research MethodsThe computer as psychometrician
90 Citations1981Lawrence G. Space
It is argued that computers can provide a cost-effective enhancement to the delivery of mental health services.
Behavior Research MethodsChange technology and the implementation of automation in mental health care settings
42 Citations1981Elizabeth M. Byrnes, James H. Johnson
The problem of clinician resistance to automated systems in mental health care delivery settings is discussed and it is argued that this resistance is a natural part of the change process, an indicator of an inadequate change strategy.
Behavior Research MethodsNew approaches to the design of computerized interviewing and testing systems
37 Citations1981Robert L. Stout

Behavior Research MethodsDesign and implementation of a microcomputer-based adaptive testing system
17 Citations1981C. David Vale
