	abstract = {El estudio de la validez constituye el eje central de los an{\'a}lisis psicom{\'e}tricos de los instrumentos de medida. En esta comunicaci{\'o}n se traza una breve nota hist{\'o}rica de los distintos modos de concebir la validez  a lo largo de los tiempos, se comentan las l{\'\i}neas actuales, y se tratan de vislumbrar posibles v{\'\i}as futuras, teniendo en cuenta el impacto que las nuevas tecnolog{\'\i}as inform{\'a}ticas est{\'a}n ejerciendo sobre los propios instrumentos de medida en Psicolog{\'\i}a y Educaci{\'o}n. Cuestiones como los nuevos formatos multimedia de los {\'\i}tems, la evaluaci{\'o}n a distancia, el uso intercultural de las pruebas, las consecuencias de su uso, o los tests adaptativos informatizados, reclaman nuevas formas de evaluar y conceptualizar la validez. Tambi{\'e}n se analizan cr{\'\i}ticamente algunos planteamientos recientes sobre el concepto de validez. The study of validity constitutes a central axis of psychometric analyses of measurement instruments. This paper presents a historical sketch of different modes of conceiving validity, with commentary on current views, and it attempts to predict future lines of research by considering the impact of new computerized technologies on measurement instruments in psychology and education. Factors such as the new multimedia format of items, distance assessment, the intercultural use of tests, the consequences of the latter, or the development of computerized adaptive tests demand new ways of conceiving and evaluating validity. Some recent thoughts about the concept of validity are also critically analyzed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA ) (journal abstract)},
