Descriptor Spanish: Velocidad de Procesamiento
Descriptor velocidad de procesamiento
Entry term(s) velocidad de procesamiento cognitivo
velocidad de procesamiento mental
velocidad de procesamiento psicomotor
velocidad psicomotora
Scope note: Tiempo que lleva comprender y realizar una tarea mental. A diferencia del TIEMPO DE REACCIÓN, la velocidad de procesamiento no incluye necesariamente un componente motor en la respuesta. La velocidad de procesamiento se estudia en la mayoría de las PRUEBAS NEUROPSICOLÓGICAS.
