Deletion Inhibition in Older Adults: Contributions for the Validation of a Task

Deletion inhibition constitutes an inhibitory kind which allows for the elimination of irrelevant information during the execution of a task. The instruments or tests for evaluating it are scarce.

The instruments or tests for evaluating it are scarce. The aim of this work is to obtain evidence of construct validity using a computerized task from the TAC (cognitive auto-regulating task) to measure deletion inhibition. Fifty three adults (32 young adults and 21 older adults) participated in this study. The analyses car-ried out indicate that the task fulfills the assumptions of in-ternal structure and the maturational changes expected for this process. The task is an appropriate instrument for mea-suring deletion inhibition in young and older adults. La inhibición de borrado constituye un tipo inhibitorio que permite eliminar la información irrelevante durante la ejecución de una tarea en curso. Los instrumentos o pruebas para evaluarla son escasos. El objetivo de este trabajo es obtener evidencia de validez de constructo utilizando una tarea informatizada de la TAC (Tareas de Autorregulación Cognitiva) para medir inhibición de borrado. Para este estudio, se utilizó una muestra de 53 participantes (32 adultos jóvenes y 21 adultos mayores).  Los análisis realizados indicaron que la tarea cumple con los supuestos de estructura interna de la tarea y los cambios maduracionales esperados para este proceso. La tarea resulta un instrumento apropiado para la medición de la inhibición de borrado en sujetos adultos jóvenes y mayores.
