HEDERICH-MARTINEZ, Christian e CAMARGO-URIBE, Ángela. Psychometric analysis of the figures intersection test (FIT). Suma Psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.89-98. ISSN 0121-4381.
The figural intersection test (FIT), which was developed by Juan Pascual-Leone and his collaborators within the framework of the theory of constructive operators, has been widely used in basic and applied research concerning working memory capacity both per se and as a factor of learning.This article presents the results of a psychometric analysis of the FIT on a sample of Colombian schoolchildren. The test was applied to 146 primary school children (79 boys and 67 girls) between 1st and 5th grades (7 to 11 years old). An analysis is presented of the internal consistency and a predictive model of the difficulty of each item, which could be considered as an indicator of the construct validity of the test. The twoscoring scales proposed by the FIT author, as well as data related to age and gender differences were examined.
