We have sought to adapt and validate a NART-like Spanish test, the Word Accentuation Test (WAT: Del Ser, Montalvo, Espinosa, Villapalos, & Bermejo, 1997) to estimate acquired intelligence in local normal older adults. The test requires examinees to read aloud infrequent, irregularly stressed Spanish words, a situation that presumably requires lexical knowledge. Results in a sample of 74 participants show that the revised WAT (i.e., the WAT for Buenos Aires) has good concurrent validity with the WAIS Vocabulary subtest and number of years of formal education, as well as high internal consistency. Performance on this test was dissociated from age, memory, or frontal/executive measures.
我们试图改编并验证一种类似国家成人阅读测验（NART）的西班牙语测试——单词重音测试（WAT：德尔·塞尔、蒙塔尔沃、埃斯皮诺萨、比利亚帕洛斯和贝梅霍，1997年），以评估当地正常老年人的后天智力。该测试要求受试者大声朗读不常见、重音不规则的西班牙语单词，这种情况大概需要词汇知识。对74名参与者的样本进行的测试结果表明，修订后的WAT（即布宜诺斯艾利斯版WAT）与韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）词汇子测验以及正规教育年限具有良好的同时效度，并且具有较高的内部一致性。该测试的表现与年龄、记忆力或额叶/执行功能测量结果无关。
