Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors have provided an adequate and substantiate response to the questions of the reviewer of which several answers could be found in a previous paper of the authors to which they refer many times. The question is if the submitted paper is easily readable without knowledge from the previous paper.
The authors state that this publication might contribute to the improvement of next-generation standards for IRT systems and the reviewer agrees. As mentioned, the reviewer recommends to emphasize that the new standards should take physiologic mechanisms into account in developing calibration algorithms for IRT systems.
