An educational psychologist designs a new test to measure cognitive processing speed in primary school children. To evaluate this test, she administers it to 80 children, alongside an established, gold-standard test of cognitive processing speed. She then calculates the correlation coefficient between the two sets of scores and finds a value of r=+0.84r = +0.84r=+0.84.
Which type of validity is the psychologist primarily assessing by correlating the new test scores with the established test scores?
temporal validity
ecological validity
concurrent validity
face validity
