Item response models were used to study changes in strategy use in a spatial task induced by a mental rotation training. Application of the Linear Logistic Model with Relaxed Assumptions (LLRA) showed differential training-related improvement in different item types, with the strongest improvement in items requiring spatial cognition. Application of Mixed Rasch Models (MRM) showed two latent classes of participants at pretest-one using a spatial strategy, the other using a pattern comparison strategy. Theoretical strategy classifications showed that the training caused almost all participants who used the pattern strategy at pretest to shift to a spatial strategy. Results are discussed both from a substantive and from a methodological perspective. Π2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
