Comparisons between two cognitive control training modalities in four-year-old children: individual and group intervention formats
REVISTA ARGENTINA DE CIENCIAS DEL COMPORTAMIENTO(2016)
Abstract
The present study examines the effects of two cognitive training modalities (implemented in the year 2005) on cognitive performance in a set of tasks demanding attention, working memory, flexibility and planning processes. Four-year-old children were trained during four months, and two modalities of cognitive training were implemented: Individual-modality (n = 49)-designed based on a previous intervention program; Group-modality (n = 143)-designed to reduce adults/children ratio and to reduce the gap between laboratory training experiences and school contexts. Results suggest that: (a) both modalities of training promoted gains in the cognitive tasks performance; (b) there were differences according to the cognitive process: for attention, children in the group-modality had lower increments, while for memory and planning children in the same group had higher increments after training.
