Summary

This study looked at three different methods—paper-and-pencil, computer-based, and a mix of both—to improve executive functions (thinking skills like memory and self-control) in 192 Chilean school children aged 5-6 and 9-10. The goal was to see which method works best and whether it also helps with reading and math. The findings aim to guide schools in choosing effective, low-cost interventions.
