Question

Mendoza et al. (2009) introduced a coin rotation task as a convenient test of motor dexterity. It involves timed completion of twenty 180° rotations of a nickel using the thumb, index, and middle fingers. The results from this task are compared with the results of two widely used tests of motor dexterity: the finger-tapping task and the Grooved Pegboard task. What empirical way of assessing construct validity is being used?

Answer 1

convergent validity

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical way of assessing construct validity being used is the convergent validity. Convergent validity is concerned with how closely related two studies or measures are, it measures the degree to which two studies that are supposed to be related are actually related.

Comparing the result of his study to that of two previous study in order to validate it is convergent validity.
