“…Esse dado demonstra que existe, entre os testes cognitivos, disparidade na concentração de estudos sobre determinados construtos em relação a outros. A atenção tem sido estudada por diversas áreas da Psicologia e isso se dá por causa da sua relevância em diferentes contextos e processos cognitivos (Rueda, 2011). Com relação a esse fato, Goldberg, Gold e Braff (1991) ressaltam a importância da atenção nas operações mentais, considerando-a um componente que necessita ser mensurado para avaliação eficaz de diversas funções cognitivas.…”

RESUMOA avaliação psicológica é uma prática especializada do profissional psicólogo, contudo, para adequada realização, são necessários instrumentos que contemplem requisitos mínimos, tais como estudos psicométricos de validade e precisão dos instrumentos e referencial teórico robusto. Além disso, é preciso a aprovação do Sistema de Avaliação de Testes Psicológicos (SATEPSI) para sua utilização profissional. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma análise dos testes de avaliação cognitiva voltados para adultos disponíveis e aprovados pelo SATEPSI, a fim de apresentar dados sobre os aspectos cognitivos avaliados, suas propriedades psicométricas e a qualidade das informações contidas em seu manual. No total, 57 instrumentos que avaliam aspectos cognitivos em adultos foram incluídos, sendo inteligência e atenção os construtos mais estudados. A maior parte apresentava adequada relação entre estudos psicométricos e critérios de indicação do teste. Ressalta-se a importância de serem construídos mais instrumentos destinados à avaliação de processos cognitivos distintos, além de uma apresentação mais clara das características dos instrumentos nos manuais comercializados. Palavras-chave: testes psicológicos; cognição; adultos. ABSTRACT -Assessment of cognitive aspects in adults: Analysis of the manuals of approved testsPsychological assessment is a specialized practice of professional psychologist. However, for its proper conduct, instruments dealing with minimum requirements are necessary, such as complete psychometric studies of validity and accuracy of instruments and robust theoretical framework. In addition, approval of the Sistema de Avaliação de Testes Psicológicos (SATEPSI) for your professional use is required. The aim of this study was to conduct an analysis of cognitive assessment tests available on the market and approved by SATEPSI in order to present data on the cognitive aspects that these instruments assess, its psychometric properties and the quality of the information contained in your manual. A total of 57 instruments that assess cognitive aspects in adults were included, intelligence and attention the most studied constructs. Most had adequate relationship between psychometric studies and test indication criteria. It emphasizes the importance of being built more instruments for the assessment of different cognitive processes, as well as a clearer presentation characteristics of the instruments traded in the manuals.

“…Attention level of the participants was tested using the Psychological Battery for Attention Assessment (PBAA), a standardized, valid and reliable instrument that evaluates attention span in subjects from 6 to 82 years (Rueda, 2011;Rueda et al, 2008).…”

Background Postural stability requires attentional resources. Dual‐task paradigms are used to investigate the attentional demand of the studied tasks. However, no studies have been conducted on the subjects' level of attention, analyzing its association with dual‐task costs (DTC). Research question To evaluate the attentional level and DTC on postural sway and cognitive yield in children, adolescents, and young adults, investigating age‐related differences, and to analyze if the participants' attention level is associated with DTC. Methods Postural sway and cognitive‐yield of 30 children, 24 adolescents, and 32 young adults were assessed in a dual‐task paradigm. We calculated DTC on postural sway and cognitive yield. Attention level was tested using Psychological Battery for Attention Assessment. We tested the association between DTC and attention level. Results Young adults showed higher DTC on area and velocity of postural sway than children and adolescents. No differences in DTC on cognitive yield were found between the groups. Children showed lower attention levels than adolescents and young adults. Attention level was negatively associated with DTC on cognitive yield in young adults. Focused Attention is responsible for 24.4% of the variance in DTC on cognitive yield. Conclusion Age impacts DTC on postural stability, but not on cognitive performance. The smaller changes in sway found in children/adolescents when dual‐tasking, potentially reflect less developed attentional levels and postural control, which make them performing postural tasks closed to their stability boundaries, and, therefore, make them prioritize stability protection more than adults. Similar DTC on cognition between groups may reflect an equalization of the chosen cognitive task at everyone's difficulty level. The lower attention levels of children may reflect an attentional system in development, with prioritization o postural tasks when dual‐tasking to maintain stability. Although attention level increases throughout age, attention only predicted DTC on cognition. Better Focused Attention's levels predicted lower DTC on cognitive yield for young adults.

The sample was composed of 211 adults, 60 years of age or older, who were not institutionalized, and who completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mini Mental State Examination, the Geriatric Depression Scale (short form), and the d2 Test. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, partial correlations, multiple linear regression and one-way ANOVA.The results of partial correlations and multiple linear regression showed that age and years of schooling demonstrated significant associations with all d2 Test scores, with age being the predictive variable that showed the greatest influence on the performance of the older adults. Comparison of performance in the d2 Test among the six groups according to the distribution by age group (60-69 years and 70 years or more) and by levels of schooling (primary, secondary and higher) showed that younger adults with a higher level of schooling scored better on the d2 Test, suggesting the need for normative data studies for this population. Edad y escolaridad son preditoras de rendimiento de adultos mayores en la Test d2? ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la asociación de la edad y la escolaridad con el rendimiento de ancianos cognitivamente preservados en el Test de Atención Sostenida d2, y comparar los resultados de diferentes grupos etarios y de niveles de escolaridad en ese instrumento. La muestra fue compuesta por 211 adultos con edad igual o superior a 60 años, no institucionalizados, que respondieron a una ficha de datos sociodemográficos, al Mini Examen del Estado Mental, a la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica (versión reducida), y al Test d2. El análisis de los datos fue conducido por medio de estadística descriptiva, correlaciones parciales, regresión lineal múltiple y ANOVA de una vía (one-way ANOVA). Los resultados de las correlaciones parciales y de la regresión lineal múltiple revelaron que la edad y los años de escolaridad demostraron asociaciones significativas con todos las puntuaciones del Test d2, siendo la edad la variable predictora que demostró mayor influencia en el rendimiento de los adultos mayores. La comparación de desempeño en el Test d2 entre los seis grupos según distribución por grupo de edad (60-69 años y 70 años o más) y por niveles de escolaridad (fundamental, media y superior) demostró que los ancianos más jóvenes y con mayor nivel de escolaridad presentan mejores puntuaciones en el Test d2, sugiriendo la necesidad de es...
