Resumen:
Learning without transfer is useless. Whatever we learn, we learn it in a specific context. Whenever we need to retrieve that information, the context will have changed. But we will still need to use that information! The evolutionary strategy that the brain has achieved is generalization. During the last three years we have been developing Mate Marote,1 an educational software to exercise different aspects of cognition for five-to-eight-year-olds. One of the goals of this project is to assess its specific impact and its transfer to other cognitive processes and academic performance. At the present more than 150 children have played many sessions of Mate Marote1 or control games at their own schools, and more than 90 are playing at this exact moment. Children are tested before and after training.
