INTRODUCTION Mild cognitive impairment (CI) has an exponential increase in its prevalence and causes functional deficits and dependence. Its early detection allows for timely treatment and greater therapeutic efficacy. However, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is currently underdiagnosed. Although recent decades have seen a rise in computerized instruments for the detection and early diagnosis of MCI, showing numerous advantages over the classic paper-and-pencil methods, such as standardized stimulus presentation. However, their limitations include the use of self-administered application without professional supervision. Few of these instruments have Spanish-adapted versions. OBJECTIVE To translate, adapt, and validate the computerized Information Processing Assessment Battery (COGNITO) battery in the Spanish population and to develop a portable administration system that facilitates its application in different settings. COGNITO was then administered to 232 Spanish participants (18-89 years) without cognitive impairment, after which preliminary normative data were obtained. RESULTS Strong positive correlations were found between the main cognitive domains assessed by COGNITO and the variables of age, educational level, and MEC score. The gender variable only correlated with visuospatial skills, with men outperforming women. The test-retest correlations conducted after 4 weeks with 89 participants revealed adequate reliability coefficients ranging between.63 and.66 (visuospatial skills = 0.35). Internal consistency coefficients were satisfactory in Attention-Executive Functions and Memory domains. CONCLUSIONS The Spanish adaptation of COGNITO shows adequate psychometric characteristics of validity and reliability. The preliminary normative data provided may contribute to the early detection of cognitive impairments associated with both normal aging and various types of neurological pathology. This tool has great utility and versatility for neuropsychological practice.

计算机信息处理评估电池 (COGNITO) 的跨文化适应和西班牙语验证。

简介 轻度认知障碍 (CI) 的患病率呈指数增长，并导致功能缺陷和依赖性。早期发现可以及时治疗并提高治疗效果。然而，轻度认知障碍（MCI）目前诊断不足。尽管近几十年来用于 MCI 检测和早期诊断的计算机化仪器有所增加，但与传统的纸笔方法（例如标准化刺激呈现）相比，显示出许多优势。然而，它们的局限性包括在没有专业监督的情况下使用自我管理的应用程序。这些乐器很少有西班牙语改编版本。目标 在西班牙人群中翻译、改编和验证计算机化信息处理评估电池 (COGNITO) 电池，并开发便携式管理系统，以促进其在不同环境中的应用。随后，232 名没有认知障碍的西班牙参与者（18-89 岁）接受了 COGNITO 治疗，之后获得了初步规范数据。结果 COGNITO 评估的主要认知领域与年龄、教育水平和 MEC 评分变量之间存在很强的正相关性。性别变量仅与视觉空间技能相关，男性表现优于女性。4 周后对 89 名参与者进行的测试-重测相关性显示，足够的可靠性系数介于 0.63 和 0.66 之间（视觉空间技能 = 0.35）。注意力执行功能和记忆领域的内部一致性系数令人满意。结论 COGNITO 的西班牙语版本显示出足够的有效性和可靠性的心理测量特征。提供的初步规范数据可能有助于早期发现与正常衰老和各种类型的神经病理学相关的认知障碍。该工具对于神经心理学实践具有很大的实用性和多功能性。
