Test Gestáltico Visomotor de Bender modificado y test de caras: una evaluación de la validez de constructo. Bender Gestalt Visualmotor test and caras test: a exam of construct validity.
Abstract
Resumen
La investigación con las nuevas versiones del Test Gestáltico de Bender (TGB) apenas ha llamado la atención en el mundo hispano, considerando que esta prueba es una de las más utilizadas en la evaluación psicológica. El presente estudio evalúa la validez de constructo de la versión modificada del TGB para niños, en relación a la atención sostenida evaluada por el Test Caras. Ambas pruebas se aplicaron a 90 niños entre 5 y 8 años, en condiciones estandarizadas. Los resultados indican que la varianza compartida entre ambas medidas es cero, aun cuando se aplicaron correlaciones desatenuadas por error de medición; tampoco se detectaron patrones no lineales entre ambas variables. Estas correlaciones fueron consistentes en la muestra total y entre los subgrupos de niños y niñas. Se discute estos resultados respecto a los lÃmites de validez sobre esta versión modificada del TGB en habla hispana.

Abstract
Research with new versions of the Bender Gestalt Test (TGB) has hardly attracted attention to the researchers of the Hispanic world, considering that this test is one of the most widely used psychological assessments. This study evaluates the construct validity of the modified version of TGB for children, relative to sustained attention assessed by the Caras Test. Both tests were applied to 90 children, aged between 5 and 8, in standardized conditions. The results indicate that the shared variance between the two measures is zero, even when applied disattenuated correlations for measurement error; also, no non-linear patterns were detected between the two variables. These correlations were consistent in the total sample and among subgroups of children. We discuss these results with respect to the limits of validity of this modified version of TGB in the Spanish language.
