Resumo: Introduction: The Tower of London (ToL) is a widely used neuropsychological task developed to assess cognitive planning capacity. Despite its wide array of applications, there is evidence suggesting that the psychometric properties of the ToL are not satisfactory. Objective: To compare the original, wooden-made ToL instrument with a similar, but computerized and expanded, version of the ToL. Methods: A total of 91 Brazilian adults (mean age = 37.6 years, standard deviation = 12.2 years) with at least 8 years of formal education were administered both the traditional and the computerized versions of the ToL. Results: A moderate correlation was observed between the total scores obtained with the two versions (rho = 0.42; p < 0.05). The internal consistency of the original version was low (α = 0.471) in comparison to that of the computerized assessment (α = 0.771). Conclusion: The results suggest an absence of equivalence between the two versions investigated. More robust psychometric properties were found for the computerized variant of the ToL, suggesting its potential use in the field of neuropsychology, in both clinical and research settings.

Embora seja amplamente utilizada na neuropsicologia, existem evidências de que suas propriedades psicométricas são insatisfatórias. Objetivo: Comparar a versão original da tarefa com uma versão computadorizada e ampliada. Métodos: Foram submetidos à versão original e à computadorizada 91 adultos brasileiros (média = 37,6 anos; desvio padrão = 12,2 anos) com um mínimo de 8 anos de educação formal. Resultados: Foi observada uma correlação moderada entre a pontuação nas duas versões (rho = 0,42; p < 0,05). A versão tradicional apresentou consistência interna baixa (α = 0,471) em comparação à versão computadorizada (α = 0,771). Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem a ausência de equivalência entre as duas versões, sendo a computadorizada e ampliada mais robusta em termos psicométricos e com bom potencial para uso na clínica e pesquisas em neuropsicologia.Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria2022-05-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedRevisado por ParesAvaliado Pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/32910.25118/2763-9037.2018.v8.329Debates in Psychiatry; Vol. 8 No. 6 (2018); 30-36Debates em Psiquiatria; Vol. 8 Núm. 6 (2018); 30-36Debates em Psiquiatria; v. 8 n. 6 (2018); 30-362763-90372236-918Xreponame:Debates em Psiquiatria (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)instacron:ABPporhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/329/300https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBorges , AdrianaAndrade , Cristina Mara de Melo Machado Timóteo , Alberto Pena PereiraSchlottfeldt , Carlos GuilhermeQuerino , Emanuel Henrique GonçalvesGodoy , Victor PolignanoMalloy-Diniz , Leandro Fernandesz 2022-08-21T23:16:02Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/329Revistahttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oaiPUBhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oairdp@abp.org.br2763-90372236-918Xopendoar:2022-08-21T23:16:02Debates em Psiquiatria (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)false
