Resumen:
Within a non-unitary approach to inhibition, cognitive inhibition is identified as the ability to remove from working memory irrelevant information which interferes with ongoing activity. Cognitive inhibition undergoes remarkable changes in development during elementary school age and is involved in core skills. Therefore, this work aimed to design, implement, and analyze the transfer effects of a training activity of cognitive inhibition in children over the first years of elementary school with typical development. The sample consisted of 39 children aged 6 to 8 years. An experimental design with pre- and post-test measures and a control group was implemented. After training, low performance effects on a cognitive inhibition task and visual-spatial working memory task were found.
