Abstract

The main objective of this basic-technological research, with a nonexperimental, cross-sectional and quantitative design, is to develop and validate a new instrument called the ABI-6 Cognitive Reserve Scale. This instrument was created to evaluate and diagnose the level of cognitive reserve in adults between 35 and 60 years of age living in the district of Bellavista, Callao. Likewise, the sample included one hundred participants, men and women in the aforementioned age range, who had no disabilities or disabling neurocognitive diseases. The psychometric properties of the instrument were evaluated by means of criterion validity analysis by judges and calculation of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient to determine its reliability. The results showed that the ABI-6 Cognitive Reserve Scale reached acceptable levels of reliability and validity for its application in this specific context.
