Abstract: The aim of this work has been to explore the relationships between the development of cognitive flexibility and working memory in a group of 6 to 9 year old children from a private school in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The results showed a significant correlation between cognitive flexibility and working memory, only in the forward digit span task. The 9 year old children showed significant improvements in contrast with the 6 year old children, which brings evidence to the idea that the key period for the development of these capacities is between 6 and 9 years of age. The backward digit span task and the relationships between working memory and short-term memory are discussed. |
