description The Raven Progressive Matrices Test is an alterna-tive to assess intelligence in preschool children. This study attempted to determine percentiles in the Raven Matrices Test to assess Cuban children between 4 and 6 years old, to validate these percentiles regarding a Cuban cut-off point (Ramírez-Benítez et al., 2015) and to determine the psycho-metric properties of the test through item analysis. A total of 803 children (380 boys) were selected in 15 regular edu-cational institutions in the cities of Cienfuegos and Matan-zas, Cuba. The validity analysis between a Cuban cut-off point and the obtained percentiles indicated that these per-centiles should be used in practice with caution. However, percentiles allow for a more flexible assessment in children with neurodevelopmental disorder than the Cuban cut-off point from Ramírez-Benítez et al., 2015. Evidence supports adequacy of percentiles to assess Cuban preschool children, although further validity studies are required to support these findings.

La prueba Matrices de Raven es una alternativa para evaluar la inteligencia en niños en edad preescolar. La investigación se propuso determinar percentiles en la prueba Matrices de Raven para niños cubanos de 4 a 6 años, validar percentiles con respecto a un punto de corte cubano (Ramírez-Benítez et al., 2015) y determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la prueba desde un análisis de ítems. Participaron 803 niños (380 varones) seleccionados en 15 instituciones educativas de enseñanza regular en las ciudades de Cienfuegos y Matanzas, Cuba. El análisis de validez entre el punto de corte cubano y los percentiles obtenidos indicó que los percentiles deben utilizarse en la práctica con precaución. No obstante, los percentiles clasifican con mayor flexibilidad al niño con alteraciones en el neurodesarrollo con respecto al punto de corte cubano de Ramírez-Benítez et al. (2015). En resumen, los percentiles son adecuados para clasificar al niño preescolar cubano, aunque requieren de otros estudios de validez.
