Re: Reliability and Validity of FCI



I'm looking for studies that investigate the reliability and validity of the
FCI. Does anyone know any articles or research that's been done about this?

Both articles introducing the FCI (original in AJP in 1985 and most
recent TPT 1998) have extensive validation efforts and Hake's article
does even more.

Refs for these are in Antti's note.

"As a result of modern research in physics, the ambition and hope,
still cherished by most authorities of the last century, that physical
science could offer a photographic picture and true image of reality
had to be abandoned." --M. Jammer in Concepts of Force, 1957.

"If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make
reality the basis of our philosophy? ...But we cannot distinguish
what is real about the universe without a theory...it makes no sense
to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what
reality is independent of a theory."--S. Hawking in Black Holes
and Baby Universes, 1993.
