| Summary: | Stimulation of executive functions (EF) using digital games is a practice that has experienced significant growth in different areas. In view of the objective pursued, it is necessary to have clear criteria for selecting the software to use. This article focuses on a correlational study between different FE transversely evaluated in a pediatric population (N = 40) of the second degree of elementary education in the city of Rosario (Argentina). It intends to organize the data obtained with current theoretical models looking selection criteria applicable to the stimulation of cognitive flexibility videogames. Significant, altought moderate, correlations were found between this function and attention, memory and inhibitory control; links that underlie the lines suggested in the discussion. |
