| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Disability today is represented in approximately 1 billion people worldwide, whose condition generates limitations that encompass functional, adaptive and cognitive Objective: to evaluate the effect of a computerized cognitive training program on the executive function of planning in people with mild intellectual disability. Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was used with 10 participants, who received 20 training sessions for 2 months. Planning skills were evaluated before and after the program. Results: Significant improvements in planning skills were evidenced after the training. Participants were able to complete the maze and king figure tasks in less time, indicating greater efficiency in problem solving. These findings support the effectiveness of computerized cognitive training in improving cognitive performance in people with mild intellectual disability. Conclusions: These results are relevant in the field of neuropsychology, as they demonstrate that computerized programs can have a positive impact on the development of executive functions in this population. In addition, they highlight the importance of using interactive and technological approaches in psycho-pedagogical and neuropsychological interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: La discapacidad hoy en día está representada en aproximadamente 1000 millones de personas en todo el mundo, cuya condición genera limitaciones que abarca lo funcional, lo adaptativa y lo cognitivo Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de un programa de entrenamiento cognitivo computarizado en la función ejecutiva de la planeación en personas con discapacidad intelectual leve. Metodología: Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental con 10 participantes, quienes recibieron 20 sesiones de entrenamiento durante 2 meses. Se evaluaron las habilidades de planeación antes y después del programa. Resultados: Se evidenciaron mejoras significativas en la capacidad de planificación después del entrenamiento. Los participantes lograron realizar las tareas de laberintos y figura de rey en menos tiempo, indicando una mayor eficiencia en la resolución de problemas. Estos hallazgos respaldan la efectividad del entrenamiento cognitivo computarizado en la mejora del desempeño cognitivo en personas con discapacidad intelectual leve. Conclusiones: Estos resultados son relevantes en el ámbito de la neuropsicología, ya que demuestran que los programas computarizados pueden tener un impacto positivo en el desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas en esta población. Además, resaltan la importancia de utilizar enfoques interactivos y tecnológicos en las intervenciones psicopedagógicas y neuropsicológicas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
