This task is a standard measure to assess working memory. The task was administered in a single session to 106 undergraduate students, along with other working memory tests: the reading span task, the digit span task and the no-words span task. The Running Memory Span Task showed a good reliability index (Cronbach’s alpha = .78, Kuder Richardson = .79). It presents positive and significant correlations with the rest of the verbal working memory tasks, and the confirmatory factor analysis showed that de Running Memory Span Task assess an executive component of verbal working memory. These indicate that this task can be considered an appropriate, valid and reliable measure of the executive function of verbal working memory, associated with an inhibition processes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue adaptar y validar el Running Memory Span Task, tarea estándar de memoria de trabajo. Para ello, 106 estudiantes universitarios completaron en una única sesión la prueba de amplitud, junto con las tareas de amplitud de lectura, amplitud de dígitos directos y de no-palabras. La prueba mostró una buena fiabilidad por consistencia interna (Alfa de Cronbach = .78, Kuder Richardson = .79), los análisis de correlaciones mostraron que la tarea de amplitud rápida de estímulos se asoció significativamente con el resto de tareas de memoria de trabajo y el resultado del análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró que la tarea evalúa un componente ejecutivo de la memoria de trabajo verbal. Estos resultados indicarían que la prueba de amplitud rápida de estímulos puede ser considerara una prueba apropiada, valida y confiable para evaluar el componente ejecutivo de la memoria de trabajo verbal, asociado a un proceso de inhibición.
