Proactive Interference Task to Measure Cognitive Inhibition in 6 to 8-year-old Children

Cognitive inhibition is an executive function that allows to suppress the irrelevant information of the working memory, which interferes with the actual activity. Literature suggests that cognitive inhibition experiments changes during childhood and is related with children’s daily performance. Howe...

Literature suggests that cognitive inhibition experiments changes during childhood and is related with children’s daily performance. However, measurement of cognitive inhibition is hampered by the lack of adequate, reliable and valid instruments. In this study a task to measure cognitive inhibition in children between the ages of 6 to 8 years in primary school was presented. Reliability and validity analysis were carried out and percentiles (preliminary scores) were calculated. A sample of 198 children participated and a non-experimental design was used. Results suggest an adequate level of internal consistency, compliance with the internal criteria according to the base paradigm and convergent validity. We discuss the importance of deepening and expanding these analyses. La inhibición cognitiva es una función ejecutiva que permite suprimir la información irrelevante de la memoria de trabajo , que interviene con la actividad actual. La literatura sugiere que, durante la infancia, la inhibición cognitiva muestra cambios en su funcionamiento y se vincula con el desempeño cotidiano. Sin embargo, su medición se ve obstaculizada por la falta de instrumentos adecuados, confiables y válidos. En este trabajo se presenta una tarea para medir la inhibición cognitiva en niños de 6 a 8 años escolarizados en educación primaria; se describen análisis de confiabilidad y validez de la tarea y se presentan  percentiles (puntuaciones preliminares). Se trabajó con una muestra de 198 niños y se aplicó un diseño no-experimental. Los resultados sugieren un nivel adecuado de consistencia interna, cumplimiento de los criterios internos según el paradigma de base, y validez convergente. Además, se discute en torno a la importancia de profundizar y ampliar estos análisis Instituto de Investigaciones Psicológicas (IIPSI, Conicet-UNC) 2020-12-26 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revaluar/article/view/31710 10.35670/1667-4545.v20.n3.31710 Revista Evaluar; Vol. 20 Núm. 3 (2020); 34-50 1667-4545 10.35670/1667-4545.v20.n3 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revaluar/article/view/31710/32536 Derechos de autor 2020 Yesica Aydmune, Isabel Introzzi, Eliana Vanesa Zamora http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
