| Abstract: Background: The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) evaluates executive dysfunctions; however, there is
no culturally adapted version of this instrument for the Spanish population. The aim of this study was
the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original version of the FAB into Spanish and to pilot
test this version.
Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was conducted following standard procedures. The final Spanish
version of the FAB (FAB-E) was pilot tested with 19 healthy Spanish individuals. Total and subtest FAB-E
scores were analysed to verify that the test could be understood and that the items assessed what they
were intended to assess.
Results: The FAB-E revealed that items/instructions were culturally appropriate and written clearly. Pilot
testing showed that most of the participants had scores ranging between 2 and 3 points in all the items.
The mean of the total FAB-E was 15.8 (SD=1.3) and the values ranged from 13 to 18. Age and educational
level seemed to indicate differences in FAB-E scores.
Conclusion: Our findings support that the FAB-E can be used to screen for executive dysfunctions in a
Spanish-speaking population.
 Antecedentes: El Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) evalúa disfunciones ejecutivas; sin embargo, no existe
una versión culturalmente adaptada del instrumento a la población espa˜ nola. Este estudio tuvo como
objetivo traducir y adaptar culturalmente al espa˜nol la versión original del FAB y realizar un estudio
piloto de esta versión.
Métodos: Se utilizaron procedimientos estandarizados para la adaptación cultural. La versión final del
FAB (FAB-E) fue testada con 19 sujetos sanos espa˜ noles. La puntuación total y de las subescalas del FAB-E
se analizaron para comprobar su comp,rensión y verificar que los ítems evaluaban lo que tenían que
evaluar.
Resultados: Los ítems/instrucciones del FAB-E fueron adecuados culturalmente y escritos con claridad. En
el estudio piloto la mayoría de los participantes tuvieron puntuaciones entre 2 y 3 en todos los ítems. La
media del FAB-E total fue 158 (DE=1.3) y los valores oscilaron entre 13 y 18. La edad y el nivel educativo
parecieron indicar diferencias en las puntuaciones del FAB-E.
