What is convergent validity?
The measure should be associated with things that it should be associated with
What is discriminant validity?
The measure should not be associated with things that it shouldn’t be associated with
What is construct validity?
Whether a test actually measures the concept that is intended to measure
What is concurrent validity?
The degree to which the operationalization can predict other measures of the same construct that are measured at the same time
Operationalization’s ability to distinguish between groups it theoretically should be able to. This is where a test correlates well with a measure that has been previously validated.
What is content validity?
Is a test fully representative of what it aims to measure?
It assesses whether a test is representative of ALL ASPECTS of the construct. If some aspects are missing from the measurement (or if irrelevant aspects are included), the validity is threatened.
Which emotional responses?

- Hypothalamus
- Neocortex
- Cingulate cortex = emotional experience
- Hypothalamus = emotional expression
- Neocortex = emotional coloring

How are these also named?
- Central sulcus
- Lateral fissure
- Superior temporal gyrus
- Central sulcus = Rolandic fissure
- Lateral fissure = Sylvian fissure
- Superior temporal gyrus = Heschl’s gyrus
How are these also named?
- Axial
- Saggital
- Coronal
- Axial = transversal
- Saggital = lateral
