The correct answer is D) Korsakoff's Syndrome.

Beltram's memory loss is probably due to Korsakoff's Syndrome.

The question clearly says that Beltram is currently 61 and has been a heavy drinker his entire life. Lately, he has started to have serious memory problems. So we cannot consider it Alzheimer's Disease.

Due to the heavy drinking problem, what Beltram has is Korsakoff's Syndrome. It is a memory disorder due to the deficiency in the body of vitamin B-1, or thiamine. And precisely heavy drinking can be a cause of the syndrome because of the toxic effect of alcohol in the cells of the brain.

Construct validity is the degree to which a test is done to measure what it claims. Construct validity defines how well the test or experiment actually measures its claims and whether the operational definition of the variable reflect the true theoretical meaning of the concept being illustrated.

The psychologist develops a questionnaire that is designed to study the variable of self-esteem and then conducts different studies to investigate the differences between people who had low scores on sled esteem and the people who had high score on self esteem. The reason for this was to get an accurate method of measuring self esteem. This means the psychologist wants to establish construct validity.
