Cognitive stimulation effect by Software, on visual attention skills in school children

Abstract:

The study analyzes the effects of the implementation of a computer software based on tasks of cancellation of visual stimuli, on the performance in attentional processes. For this, we worked under a positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach, of a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest type, with intervention in children between 6 and 11 years old from a public school in the city of Cúcuta-Colombia, forming an intentional sample of 49 participants. Within the instruments, a sociodemographic data questionnaire was designed and standardized tests of neuropsychological evaluation were taken to contrast the cognitive performance before and after the intervention. For the analysis of information and comparison of results, a program for quantitative data IBM-SPSS Statistics 21 was used, finding statistically significant differences in processes of visual, selective and excluding attention, in addition to finding increases in self-verification capacity in children.
