Resumen:
ACTAS EN ELABORACIÓN. The aim of this work is to describe and comparatively analyze the functioning of cognitive flexibility(CF) in a sample of 88 individuals representing two age groups -middle-age and advanced-age adults- by obtaining evidence of internal and external validity. Methods: Using a correlational and cross-sectional research design, four tests were conducted in order to evaluate construct validity: fulfillment of experimental paradigm criteria and contrast between groups and tests with different methods. In addition to the fingers task, the study used the CAMBIOS Cognitive Flexibility Test, TAC´s Joint Visual Search Task (which evaluates perceptual inhibition) and a verbal fluency task with changes. Results: The results provide evidence of the functioning of CF in adulthood and advancedage, which has implications for neurocognitive clinical evaluation in these stages of life. Discussions and Conclusions: Additionally, evidence was obtained in favor of the concurrent validity of the instruments used to measure CF, contributing to the solidity of future studies on this executiv
