Objetivo: analizar evaluación neuropsicológica en adultos mayores: herramientas clave para el diagnóstico temprano del deterioro cognitivo preservando el alcance metodológico del estudio histórico.Método: se desarrolló un estudio revisión bibliográfica; la unidad de análisis correspondió a literatura de PubMed, Elsevier, Dialnet, Google Scholar y SciELO. La información se examinó con criterios de coherencia y trazabilidad, sin inferir datos no verificables.Resultados: La literatura revisada coincide en que las pruebas neuropsicológicas son herramientas de cribado útiles para detectar alteraciones cognitivas y orientar evaluación clínica. Su interpretación debe considerar edad, escolaridad, contexto y límites diagnósticos de cada instrumento.Conclusiones: los hallazgos permiten caracterizar el fenómeno y orientar decisiones o nuevas investigaciones, pero deben interpretarse dentro de las limitaciones del diseño y de la documentación disponible.
