Abstract

This article presents the construction process of a word/pseudoword writing task for adults, based on the approach of cognitive neuropsychology. The construction process involved six steps: 1) selection of psycholinguistic criteria, 2) selection of the stimuli for the task, 3) revision of the first version by expert judges, 4) reformulations according to judge’s suggestions and construction of the second version of task; 5) analysis of the new version by previous judges, 6) definition of the final version of the task. Were included 72 stimuli divided into frequent words (24) non frequent words (24) and 24 pseudowords. Each group was composed by regular, irregular, short and long stimuli. The purpose of this task is to contribute to the cognitive neuropsychological assessment of acquired and development dysgraphias, as well as to characterize the writing profile of clinical groups and healthy adults with different sociodemographic characteristics.
