Distracter (n.) 誘答項目（李坤崇）2000年12月；教育大辭書；名詞解釋：選擇題由題幹 (stem) 與選項 (options) 兩部分所組成。選項通常包含正確答案與誘答兩部分。誘答項目是吸引一知半解的學生去選答，以區別受試者的能力高低。編擬誘答項目，宜注意下列事項：1. 必須以學生的共同錯誤為前題：誘答項目應是教師或測驗編製者深入了解學生或受試者的學習狀況，以其經驗選取共同錯誤來誘惑未具備正確知識者。2. 敘述必須淺顯易懂：有些測驗編製者為提高誘答力，誤將文字敘述複雜化，因此測驗編製者敘述必須淺顯易懂。3. 誘答必須能發揮功能：有些測驗編製者編擬的測驗誘答題目，甚難發揮誘答力。如：下列哪一個是臺灣人口最多的城市？(1)東京(2)紐約(3)臺北(4)倫敦。正確答案為(3)臺北，因其他三個城市均不在臺灣，故此題的三個誘答項目均不佳。4. 用詞宜以精簡為原則：因敘述太長易流於形同閱讀測驗，而減少學生作答動機，故用詞宜以精簡為原則。 One who, or that which, distracts away.
