In Computer Science it is known as:
slot
property
member variable

depending on which language you use (Lisp, Scheme, C++, PHP, ...)

Dunno what it would be in English, much less Spanish.

It really isn't all that different from PHP's array indices, though in
other languages the differences are magnified between an array element and
->

There are also funky things you can do (in PHP, even) to trigger action
(code) when somebody accesses/reads a slot, or stores data/writes to a
slot.

If you Google for "Object Oriented" and "Properties, Slots, Member
Variables" in various combinations you should find a ton of info.
