Programa de entrenamiento neuropsicológico basado en procesos de atención selectiva para niños de 8 a 10 años
The present investigative exercise is framed in a problem of great interest in the educational field, which affects the academic and social development. The aforementioned problem is related to attention deficit in students, which affects learning disorders, and even some figures dare to establish that 10% to 25% of people live in that condition. In this sense, the central purpose of determining the effectiveness of a neuropsychological training program based on selective attention processes and implements it in children from 8 to 10 years of the Normal Superior School of Ibagué that present attention deficit. In this sense, a research with a quantitative approach and quasi-experimental design is proposed. Where two groups were taken, one of control and the other experimental, the last one being exposed to a strategy of neuropsychological training, and the last carrying their normal training. Both groups, pre-test and post-test tests were applied, using the Attention Test (D2) of Rolf Brickenkamp. Subsequently, the results were subjected to statistical treatment with the use of the (Student t) test for related samples and independent samples. The strategy has favored the concentration index, the measurement of the processing speed and amount of work done, and to the extent of the processing precision. Additionally, there was an increase in the total effectiveness of the test, despite not presenting significant differences in three of six variables.
