Abstract: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a neurocognitive disorder, which mainly affects the older adult population, characterized by presenting significant alterations at the level of cognitive processes and basic functional capacities. Its evaluation and diagnosis will depend on the use of suitable instruments, based on the selection of screens, tests and / or batteries that will facilitate its detection. In this respect, in Latin America instrumental progress has been slow, unlike other latitudes, which has significantly hindered the process of instrumentation and adaptation of useful tools for clinical work, which has considerably limited the work of specialists, Thus generating an uncertain context, and with highly questionable methodological gaps.
