GONZALEZ-GUIRVAL, F et al. Analysis of the convergent validity of a computerized instrument to evaluate attention in athletes: Reilla 1.0. CPD [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp.83-94.  Epub July 13, 2020. ISSN 1989-5879.

The objective of this research was to analyze the convergent validity of a computerized program called Rejilla v.1, which was built with the aim of evaluating selective attention and to be used in contexts such as sport. A total of 99 participants collaborated on the study, aged between 19 and 36 years old (M ± SD = 25.15 ± 3.56). To assess convergent validity, correlation analyses were performed with other instruments that have traditionally been used to evaluate selective attention, such as the D2 Attention Test and the Toulouse-Piéron Test. The results found revealed moderate and low correlations between the instruments, suggesting relationships between them, although they should be taken with caution. The main measures of the D2 Test and the Toulouse-Piéron Test showed moderate levels with the hits of Rejilla v.1, but the secondary measures showed low associations. It is suggested that other cognitive functions, in addition to selective attention, could participate in the performance of Rejilla v.1 exercises, which is discussed at work.
