| Abstract (English): |
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the Cogmed technological training program in working memory and attention on low intellectual capacity. The design was quasi-experimental with explanatory scope, including two groups (control and experimental) and pretest and posttest measurements. Descriptive and dependency analysis using chi-square (X²) showed a predominance of 9-year-olds, third-grade level, and low socioeconomic status, with no significant differences. When comparing total intellectual capacity, working memory, and attention variables between the control group, within the same group, and across both groups using Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U, and eta-squared (n²) tests, the experimental group showed statistically significant differences (p < .05) with a large effect size (.14). This leads to the conclusion that training working memory improves performance in both directly and indirectly trained tasks, evidencing far transfer after training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la influencia del programa de entrenamiento tecnológico de memoria de trabajo y atención (Cogmed) sobre la capacidad intelectual baja. El diseño fue cuasiexperimental, alcance explicativo de dos grupos (control y experimental), con mediciones pretest y postest, mostrando el análisis descriptivo y de dependencia con chi-cuadrado (X²), con predominio en la edad de 9 años, el grado tercero y el estrato socioeconómico bajo, sin diferencias significativas. Al comparar las variables capacidad intelectual total, memoria de trabajo y atención con el grupo control, el mismo grupo y ambos grupos, con las pruebas de Wilcoxon, U de Mann-Whitney y eta-cuadrado (n2), el grupo experimental presentó diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p < .05) con tamaño efecto grande (.14). Los resultados llevan a concluir que entrenar la memoria de trabajo mejora el rendimiento en tareas directamente entrenadas y no entrenadas, evidenciándose transferencia lejana después del entrenamiento.
