Neuropsicologia, Torre de Londres, tarefa computadorizadaResumo
Introdução: A Torre de Londres (Tower of London – ToL) é uma tarefa neuropsicológica desenvolvida para avaliação da capacidade cognitiva de planejamento. Embora seja amplamente utilizada na neuropsicologia, existem evidências de que suas propriedades psicométricas são insatisfatórias. Objetivo: Comparar a versão original da tarefa com uma versão computadorizada e ampliada. Métodos: Foram submetidos à versão original e à computadorizada 91 adultos brasileiros (média = 37,6 anos; desvio padrão = 12,2 anos) com um mínimo de 8 anos de educação formal. Resultados: Foi observada uma correlação moderada entre a pontuação nas duas versões (rho = 0,42; p < 0,05). A versão tradicional apresentou consistência interna baixa (α = 0,471) em comparação à versão computadorizada (α = 0,771). Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem a ausência de equivalência entre as duas versões, sendo a computadorizada e ampliada mais robusta em termos psicométricos e com bom potencial para uso na clínica e pesquisas em neuropsicologia.
