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.

| Sumario: | 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 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. |
