For training we used Mind-Flex, a toy first marketed in 2009. To measure a possible boost in attention we applied the d2 test of attention developed by Brickenkamp (1962), adapted in Spain by Seisdedos (2002). The results obtained from a sample of 65 children (aged 8 and 9) show a significant improvement in selective and sustained attention, cognitive-processing accuracy, attention control and balance between speed and accuracy. El presente trabajo tiene un doble objetivo: a) observar si, mediante entrenamiento en neurofeedback, puede mejorarse la atención selectiva y la concentración en niños escolarizados sin problemas de aprendizaje, y b) valorar la posibilidad de generalizar este tipo de entrenamiento como un procedimiento útil, fácil, lúdico y económico, que pueda ser usado para la mejora del rendimiento escolar. Para el entrenamiento utilizamos un Mind-Flex, juguete comercializado en 2009. Para medir el posible incremento atencional se utilizó el Test de atención d2 de Brickenkamp (1962), adaptado en España por Seisdedos (2002). Los resultados obtenidos en una muestra de 65 niños (entre 8 y 9 años de edad) mostraron una mejora significativa en la atención selectiva y sostenida, la precisión del procesamiento cognitivo, el control atencional y el equilibrio entre la velocidad y la precisión. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Revista de Psicopatologia y Psicologia Clinica is the property of Asociacion Espanola de Psicologia Clinica y Psicopatologia and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
