English term

set shifting

English to Spanish Social Sciences Psychology For USA
Part 1 of the test is a brief, timed test of visual scanning and visuomotor tracking that is included as an index of speed of processing. Part 1 involves connecting consecutive numbers that are arranged in irregular locations on a sheet of paper. Part 1 does not involve switching between two sets of consecutive stimuli and, therefore, does not emphasize working memory and set shifting.

Many thanks!!!

Hi, seems to be that quite a few Spanish pyschologists use "set" or "criterio"..see

I have my doubts that you'll find an actual translation. Liz has done a lot of research and what she's found are more like paraphrases. I don't think you'll be able to get away from the word 'set'. I googled with 'serie' and found practically nothing, but this is helpful in understanding what it's about:

Test de Clasificación de Tarjetas de Wisconsin (WCST): mide varias funciones ejecutivas incluyendo control de interferencia, cambio del set y razonamiento abstracto. En esta prueba se requiere que el individuo clasifique tarjetas según cuatro tarjetas estímulo. Los principios de clasificación nunca se hacen explícitos al participante dado que es él quien tiene que deducir el criterio de clasificación por medio de la respuesta <<correcta o incorrecta>> que le ofrece el evaluador. Los principios de clasificación cambian sin aviso después de que el participante ha ofrecido diez respuestas consecutivas correctas.
Christine Walsh Nov 19, 2011:
As I understand it There are quite a few tests (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Cambios) that 'measure' cognitive flexibility and are described in Spanish as 'pruebas/tareas de flexibilización cognitiva', and in English as 'set shifting tests/tasks'. We'd need a specialist to be quite sure. Meanwhile I found this:

<<Las funciones ejecutivas corresponderían según Lezak, a las capacidades mentales necesarias para formular un objetivo, planificar y ejecutar acciones para lograr ese objetivo e intervendrían, además, en la realización de tareas complejas(6,7). Estas funciones actuarían cuando se requieren procesos de control del comportamiento, y dependerían de tres funciones cognitivas: El "shifting" o cambio entre diferentes tareas o procesos mentales, la inhibición de respuestas automáticas no pertinentes y la actualización de las representaciones mentales mantenidas en memoria de trabajo>> (http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?pid=S0717-92272005000200004&...

The English term '(set) shifting' appears in many articles in Spanish - which of course oesn't mean it's right!

Atención selectiva.
Capacidad para escoger la información relevante del entorno o el esquema de acción apropiado, inhibiendo la atención a unos estímulos mientras se atiende a otros.
Atención alternante
Es la capacidad que permite cambiar el foco de atención entre tareas que implican requerimientos cognitivos diferentes, controlando qué información es procesada en cada momento.
Atención dividida.
Capacidad para atender a dos cosas al mismo tiempo, es decir, la selección simultánea de una información, de un proceso o de un esquema de acción. Requiere el cambio ágil entre tareas, o la ejecución de forma automática de alguna de ellas.

Liz, thanks for taking the time to do all this research, I really appreciate it and it has been very helpful. After much reading on the subject, I agree that cognitive flexibility and set-shifting are not one and the same.

agree Christine Walsh : Yes, I think 'cambio de criterio (atencional)' is the best option. If used by Spanish universities...

Thank you Christine! I am not Spanish, but I think the use of "criterio" is a good option, particularly as Sp psychologists use this:)

Thanks, Moni. I'm afraid I must confess to some lucky Googling; it was not in MY mind at all!
neutral liz askew : This is a very specific test, and cognitive flexibility does not cover the English meaning at all

Do you think 'alternancia de sets cognitivos', as in your last ref., might fill the bill? Most of the Spanish articles use the word 'set', and most possible translations of the word don't seem to fit. Saludos, CW.
