Psychology
Spanish term or phrase: Ejercicio de cambio de atencion (AST)
From what I have been able to gather (there is very little context as the text appears in a spreadsheet) the term seems to be taken from a neuro-psychological screen test for adults. Participants are asked to respond to an arrow and press a button according to the direction in which the arrow is facing - and then according to which side of the screen the arrow appears on.

Luckily, the acronym has been given in English; an educated guess on my part would be 'Attention Screening Test or Tool', but would appreciate suggestions from someone with some expertise in the field.

Many thanks,

Lisa
