Summary
This study tested three different ways to improve executive functions—skills like memory, self-control, and mental flexibility—in 192 Chilean school children aged 5-6 and 9-10. The methods included traditional paper-and-pencil exercises, digital computer games, and a mix of both. Researchers measured changes in thinking skills and academic performance to see which approach works best and for which age group.
