Mate Marote is an open source cognitive-training software (1) aimed at children between 4 and 8 years old. It consists of a set of computerized games specifically tailored to train and evaulateexecutive functions (EF): a class of processes critical for purposeful, goal-directed behavior, including working memory, planning, flexibility, and cognitive control.During the last ten years several studies were performed using Mate Marote to measure and train children's EF at their own schools in supervised interventions (2) . At present, we are startingto conduct unsupervised, but controlled, interventions with children?s own teacher's help.
