description | 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. |

La estimulación de las funciones ejecutivas (FE) mediante juegos digitales es una práctica que ha experimentado un importante crecimiento en diferentes ámbitos. En vista del objetivo que se persiga, resulta necesario contar con criterios precisos para la selección del software a utilizar. El presente artículo se centra en un estudio correlacional entre distintas FE evaluadas transversalmente en una población infantil (N = 40) del segundo grado de la educación primaria de la ciudad de Rosario (Argentina). Se propone articular los datos obtenidos con los modelos teóricos vigentes en busca de criterios para la selección de videojuegos aplicables a la estimulación de la flexibilidad cognitiva. Se han hallado correlaciones significativas, aunque de moderado valor, entre esta función, la atención, la memoria y el control inhibitorio; vínculos que fundamentan las pautas sugeridas en la discusión.
