Description

Xacobe Fernández-García and co-authors published a research paper in 2024 on a Spanish version of a computerized battery that tests teenage thinking skills. The battery runs fourteen short tasks covering planning, memory, social understanding, and speed. It was built in English, and proof for Spanish-speaking youth was thin.

The team translated and adapted the tasks, then gave them in thirty-four schools to over fifteen hundred students aged fourteen to nineteen. Math checks on the answers favored a four-part structure, dropping only the speed part as a separate factor. That shape matched the theory behind the battery well. The authors judge the Spanish version fit for school and clinic studies.
