La estimulación de las funciones ejecutivas (FE) mediante juegos digitales es una práctica que ha experimentado un importante crecimiento en diferentes ámbitos. En vista del objetivo que se persiga, resulta necesario contar con criterios precisos para la selección del software a utilizar. El presente artículo se centra en un estudio correlacional entre distintas FE evaluadas transversalmente en una población infantil (N = 40) del segundo grado de la educación primaria de la ciudad de Rosario (Argentina). Se propone articular los datos obtenidos con los modelos teóricos vigentes en busca de criterios para la selección de videojuegos aplicables a la estimulación de la flexibilidad cognitiva. Se han hallado correlaciones significativas, aunque de moderado valor, entre esta función, la atención, la memoria y el control inhibitorio; vínculos que fundamentan las pautas sugeridas en la discusión.
