Resumen
The role of cognitive flexibility in the comprehension of sentences of elderly with mild cognitive impairment amnestic type (DC La) is analyzed. Thirty - eight patients with DCLa participated, selected from a cluster analysis based on their execution in the Trail Making Test (TMT). The groups were matched in education, age, cognitive status and memory, but they differed in part B of the TMT, for that reason they were called: high and low cognitive flexibility groups, respectively. Results: the groups differ in the syntactically simplest sentences and whit one proposition, specifically, in the syntactic foils. The group of low cognitiv e flexibility presents greater difficulty than the group of high in the comprehension of simple sentences that require an analysis of the content (syntactic foils). This would indicate that they have greater difficulties in carrying out the necessary reana lysis to formulate a correct answer in this type of item.
