Construct validity of the Children's Embedded Figures Test
Abstract:
The Children's Embedded Figures Test and the Matching Familiar Figures Test were given to 28 children ranging in age from 5 to 12 yr. (M age = 9.3 yr.) to estimate the construct validity of the Children's Embedded Figures Test. A significant correlation of .65 between age and number of correct embedded figures and a nonsignificant correlation of .32 between number of correct embedded figures and latencies to match familiar figures were found. Implications are examined in the light of earlier findings demonstrating the convergent validity of the Children's Embedded Figures Test.
