This paper presents a technique for applying the Rule Space methodology of cognitive diagnosis to assessment in a semantically-rich domain. Previous applications of Rule Space—all in simple, well-structured domains—based diagnosis on examinees’ ability to perform individual problem-solving steps. In a complex domain, however, test items might be so different from one another that the problem-solving steps used for one item are unrelated to the steps used to solve another item. The technique presented herein extends Rule Space’s applicability by basing diagnosis on item characteristics that are more abstract than individual problem-solving steps. A cognitive model of problem-solving motivates selection of characteristics in order to maintain the connection between an examinee’s problem-solving skill and his/her diagnosis. To test the extended Rule Space procedure, data were collected from 122 architects of three ability levels (students, architecture interns, and professional architects) on a 22-item test of architectural knowledge. Rule Space provided diagnostic reporting for between 40 and 90% of examinees. The findings support the effectiveness of Rule Space in a complex domain.

Introduction: The average incidence of perioperative stroke during major non-cardiac surgery is less than 1%, suggesting that it is rarely a major problem for the vast majority of patients. Methods: In our paper we present a 46-year-old patient undergoing acute right hemicolectomy who developed right-sided hemiparesis in the perioperative setting. Immediate CTAg examination showed an ischemic stroke in the left hemisphere as a result of left internal carotid thrombosis. A surgical procedure to recanalize the left carotid artery was performed 14 hours from the onset of neurological symptomatology and the neurological deficit gradually recovered fully. Conclusion: Our case report supports studies showing that a thorough diagnostic assessment allows the selection of patients who may benefit from urgent revascularization of acute internal carotid occlusion during the phase of acute brain ischemia.
