| description | This paper presents the design and preliminary psychometric analysis of a scale to assess taxonomic conceptual relations. The instrument consists of a verbal and a pictorial scale and offers four answer choices. We assessed 43 participants with and without neurological disease over 60 years. A discriminant analysis was conducted and it indicated a sensitivity of 90.9 % for the verbal scale and 91 % for the pictorial and a specificity of 100 % for both scales. Reliability analysis yielded ordinal alpha values of .985 for the verbal scale and .983 for the pictorial scale. In turn, evidences of convergent validity were obtained by correlating with WAIS´ Analogies subtest, Picture sorting from the EMSDA and word-picture matching from the BEA. |

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados psicométricos preliminares de un instrumento para evaluar relaciones conceptuales taxonómicas. El instrumento está conformado por una escala verbal y una pictórica y ofrece cuatro opciones de respuesta. Se evaluó a 43 participantes, mayores de 60 años, con y sin patología neurológica. Se realizó una regresión logística binaria que indicó una sensibilidad del 90.9% para la escala verbal y 96.8% para la pictórica y una especificidad del 96.8% para la escala verbal y 100% para la pictórica. El análisis de confiabilidad arrojó valores de alfa ordinales de .99 para la escala verbal y .98 para la escala pictórica. A su vez, se obtuvieron evidencias de validez convergente mediante la correlación con el subtest de Analogías del WAIS, Clasificación de imágenes de la EMSDA y emparejamiento palabra-dibujo de la BEA.
