English term or phrase:set shifting
Part 1 of the test is a brief, timed test of visual scanning and visuomotor tracking that is included as an index of speed of processing. Part 1 involves connecting consecutive numbers that are arranged in irregular locations on a sheet of paper. Part 1 does not involve switching between two sets of consecutive stimuli and, therefore, does not emphasize working memory and set shifting.

Atención selectiva.
Capacidad para escoger la información relevante del entorno o el esquema de acción apropiado, inhibiendo la atención a unos estímulos mientras se atiende a otros.
Atención alternante
Es la capacidad que permite cambiar el foco de atención entre tareas que implican requerimientos cognitivos diferentes, controlando qué información es procesada en cada momento.
Atención dividida.
Capacidad para atender a dos cosas al mismo tiempo, es decir, la selección simultánea de una información, de un proceso o de un esquema de acción. Requiere el cambio ágil entre tareas, o la ejecución de forma automática de alguna de ellas.

I think the problem here is that there are different Spanish translations for "set-shifting"....

All I have discovered is that "cognitive flexibility" is not a synonym.
I have my doubts that you'll find an actual translation. Liz has done a lot of research and what she's found are more like paraphrases. I don't think you'll be able to get away from the word 'set'. I googled with 'serie' and found practically nothing, but this is helpful in understanding what it's about:
Test de Clasificación de Tarjetas de Wisconsin (WCST): mide varias funciones ejecutivas incluyendo control de interferencia, cambio del set y razonamiento abstracto. En esta prueba se requiere que el individuo clasifique tarjetas según cuatro tarjetas estímulo. Los principios de clasificación nunca se hacen explícitos al participante dado que es él quien tiene que deducir el criterio de clasificación por medio de la respuesta <> que le ofrece el evaluador. Los principios de clasificación cambian sin aviso después de que el participante ha ofrecido diez respuestas consecutivas correctas.
There are quite a few tests (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Cambios) that 'measure' cognitive flexibility and are described in Spanish as 'pruebas/tareas de flexibilización cognitiva', and in English as 'set shifting tests/tasks'. We'd need a specialist to be quite sure. Meanwhile I found this:
