Abstract

This study investigated validity evidences to the Teste de Atenção Dividida (AD) in relation to intelligence. The AD were administered to 369 candidates to licence drive, aged from 18 to 73 years (mean = 27 years old, SD = 11,51) attending at psychological assessment clinics of the state of Minas Gerais. Negative correlations between the Speed and Quality and Concentration measures with age were verified suggesting that the scores diminished while the age of the persons increased. Six groups of age were found; these groups were 18-19 years old, 20-27, 28-36, 37-41, 42-55, 56-73. They were significantly differentiated in both measures by means of ANOVA test.
