ABSTRACT
269 in a sample of subjects, we investigated the following variables: 1) advance speed measured with KCC test 2) advance speed measured with MIVA test 3) Advance - delay. 4) Order of presentation of the sixteen subtests of MIVA The most relevant results are: A) MIVA test measures anticipation speed, integrating in its measures every known aspect about that construct. B) Reliability of MIVA test (0,95) is the highest that has been achieved to measure speed ahead. C) You can note the following factors in anticipation speed: linear, curve, novelty-monotony and speed.
Keywords
