The neurological tests required would be very expensive to conduct, so the researcher is unsure whether they should be added to the tests she is already using. In this case, the researcher is probably concerned with
a. the construct validity of the neurological test. b. the face validity of the neurological test. c. the concurrent evidence of validity for the neurological test. d. the incremental validity of the neurological test.
