Abstract

En este trabajo se intentan evaluar los efectos que tiene sobre el rendimiento y sobre la validez tanto la administración de un test en un idioma que no coincide con el idioma dominante de los sujetos destinatarios como su adaptación al euskera. Para ellos se comparan los resultados obtenidos en una prueba de comprensión verbal por una muestra de referencia con dos muestras sometidas a las condiciones mencionadas. El alto porcentaje de funcionamiento diferencial evidencia la falta de validez en cualquiera de las dos condiciones evaluadas
