In the study by Hillkyer and Joynes (1995) on locomotion in rats, the researchers tested for productive validity by correlating an existing measures (the BBB) and a new measure (the HUK) with a physiological assessment of mobility. Which of the following was found?
A) The new measure was more sophisticated.
B) The new measure was better able to predict mobility.
C) The HiJK correlated negatively with the existing measure.
D) The HiJK was not reliable.

The correct answer is that the new measure (presumably the HUK, despite the typo in option C) was better able to predict mobility. This indicates that the new measure had a stronger or more accurate correlation with the physiological assessment of mobility, demonstrating its productive validity in the context of the study.
