We present the process of translation, adaptation, and validation in the Spanish
context of the 10-item version of the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity
(WCPA-10), a performance-based measure of cognitive instrumental activities of
daily living (C-IADL). The study consisted of two phases: I) translation/cultural
adaptation of theWCPA, conducted by professional bilingual translators, a panel of
experts, and a pilot study, and II) validation in a sample of 42 acquired brain injury
patients (ABI) and 42 healthy participants (HC). WCPA primary outcomes showed
expected convergent/discriminant validity patterns with socio-demographical
and clinical variables and cognitive processes identifying those WCPA outcomes
that best predicted executive and memory deficits measured with a battery of
traditional neuropsychological tests. In addition, performance on the WCPA was
a significant predictor of everyday functioning over variables such as socio-
demographics or global cognition when measured with traditional tests. External
validity was established by theWCPA’s ability to identify everyday cognitive deficits
in ABI patients compared to HC, even in those with subtle cognitive impairment
based on neuropsychological tests. The Spanish WCPA-10 seems an appropriate
and sensitive assessment tool to identify cognitive-functional impairment in ABI-
patients, even those with subtle cognitive impairment. The results also highlight
the relevance of this kind of test, as they indicate a better prediction of patients’
real-world functioning than traditional neuropsychological tests
