Abstract: Reports the use of the Extended Logistic Model (ELM) of Rasch (D. Andrich, 1988) to validate the reduction of continuous motor-skill data to categorize performance. Data from 332 Australian preprimary and primary school students show that application of the ELM can provide a check on the quality of the rating mechanism. (SLD)
