Content validity of tests specific to particular kinds of intellectual activity
(RESUME)

Psychological control over the process of function-by-function development of professional skills is achieved, as is known, by means of tests specifically designed to estimate particular intellectual functions. A method for meaningful validization of such tests is suggested; it presupposes comparison of the structure of the test with the structure of activity which the test represents (particularly the stimulus material, operational and externalized structure of mental operations, and motivational structure of activity are to be assessed). Efficiency of the suggested method was proved in studies of a test on short-term memory (modelling the mental activity of chess-players).
