| Popis: | Several methods for the assessment and training of executive functions and working memory capacity in preschoolers have been developed over previous decades, but despite our digital era, new technologies are seldom addressed. To fill this gap, in the context of the "shareFUN" project, a set of digital games was designed, including measures and training activities for inhibition, shifting, updating and working memory capacity. The games were designed as a kit of apps since preschoolers show a deep interest and a high level of confidence in approaching digital games, mainly on tablets or smartphones. The current paper has the main aim to present this kit and outline further research activities, scheduled within the "shareFUN" project, for the validation of the apps used for assessment and their efficacy for training. |
