GURGEL, Léia Gonçalves et al. TIDE: evidence of validity based on external criteria. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.1, pp. 84-92. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2022.2101.20480.09.

The aim of this study was to investigate evidence of validity based on external criteria for the Computerized and Dynamic Writing Test - TIDE, in relation to spelling and cognition. Participants were 304 students, aged between 10 and 17 years. The TIDE, the Moojen Balanced Dictation instrument and the "Digits, Information, Understanding and Vocabulary" subtests of the WISC III were used. Regarding the orthographic criterion, the TIDE pre-test module was negatively associated with Dictation errors, with the exception of errors related to language irregularities. The instructional module presented significant negative correlations with the three types of dictation error. The pre-test module was not associated with the cognitive aspects. The instructional module correlated with the four WISC-III subtests, demonstrating a relation with cognitive aspects, memory, attention, judgment and the lexical knowledge of the subjects.
