A fifteen-year history of the continuous response digital interface: issues relating to validity and reliability

his paper contains an overview, analysis, and comments regarding fifteen years of research using the Continuous Response Digital Interface (CRDI). A brief history of the CRDI development is given followed by a general explanation of issues relating to validity and reliability especially concerning CRDI studies in music. Specific studies are addressed relating Co assessments using this device in relationship Co other continuous response devices and other traditional measurement scales.
