Spanish term or phrase: ajuste bidimensional
"two-dimensional fit" seems to refer more to computer graphics etc and "bidimensional fit" seems to be uncommon. Am wondering if it should in fact be "two-factor fit".

En primer lugar, el análisis descriptivo de los datos se realizó utilizando SPSS 20.0. Se calcularon t-tests y chi-square tests para comprobar si existían diferencias significativas en relación con el tipo de recuerdo en la muestra estudiada.
En segundo lugar, se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial confirmatorio (CFA) para evaluar si la puntuación obtenida en el AMT representa una única dimensión relacionada con la especificidad del recuerdo autobiográfico. También se comprobó la posibilidad de un ***ajuste bidimensional *** de los datos en función de la valencia de la palabra clave (positiva vs negativa).

Explanation:
As the authors refer to "una única dimensión", I'd play it safe and leave it as "dimension" rather than "factor" to avoid any possibble confusion. Unless, of course, you can contact the authors and discuss your misgivings with them...
