PAWLOWSKI, Josiane et al. Validity evidences of Neupsilin Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.60, n.2, pp.101-116. ISSN 1809-5267.

The aim was to present validity evidences of the Neupsilin. Hundred two men and women, from 18 to 40 years old, were selected according to the groups distributed by years of formal study: low-education, middle-education, and high-education. They answered Neupsilin, Raven Progressive Matrices ─ General Scale, and the Beck’s Depression Inventory. Variance Analysis test indicated significant difference among the three groups in the tasks: Digit Ordering, Processing of Inferences and Verbal Fluency. Education influence was significant in 19 tasks. Memory, Language and Praxis presented the strongest correlations with Raven. Neupsilin presented moderate correlation with the reading and writing practice. The results indicated validity evidences by: (1) differentiation in the scores due to the education; (2) correlation between Neupsilin and Raven (convergent validity) and between Neupsilin and reading and writing practice (concurrent validity).
