AB - The Eyes Test-Child version (Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Spong, Scahill, & Lawson, 2001) is a test that measures advanced theory of mind (ToM) skills through an emotional recognition task. The test was designed for the diagnosis of emotional recognition and mentalization and it has been widely used across different cultures as a tool for the diagnosis of disorders associated with a deficit in ToM skills, such as autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia or behavioral disorders. This study reports the preliminary validation of the Spanish "Eyes Test-Child Version" in an adolescent nonclinical population We examined distribution of response, item difficulty, and scores on the Spanish version with a sample of 354 adolescents aged 14 to 16 years. Additionally, we analyzed whether the right responses were associated with age and gender. Results showed that distribution of response, item difficulty, and scores on the Spanish sample coincided with the original version Eyes Test scores were not related to the age of adolescents. Females scored higher than males, which replicates earlier studies.
