El Impacto del Uso de un Programa de Realidad Virtual como Intervención para el Entrenamiento Cognitivo de las Funciones Ejecutivas en Niños de Primero de Primaria
Resumen
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar métodos tradicionales y de realidad virtual en la evaluación e intervención de funciones ejecutivas en niños de educación primaria. Se utilizó un diseño cuantitativo comparativo con 12 participantes entre 6 y 8 años evaluados mediante la batería ENFEN y el programa Nesplora Ice Cream en realidad virtual. Se implementaron programas de intervención mediante Thinkrolls Play & Code y Enhance VR. Los resultados mostraron mejoras en planificación, memoria de trabajo y control inhibitorio, así como mayor motivación en los entornos virtuales. Se concluye que los métodos tradicionales y de realidad virtual son complementarios y que la realidad virtual ofrece mayor sensibilidad ecológica.
