SUMMARY:

Based on research about Executive Functions (EF), Training of Executive Functions and Socioeconomic Status (SES), the present study investigated: (a) training of executive functions using tablet like games and its impact on scholastic achievement (b) the relationship between socioeconomic status and Executive Functions. Seventy-two students enrolled in the third and fourth years of two schools in the city of Natal / RN - one public and one private - were volunteers of this study. The students were divided into two groups: an experimental group and another active control group. The students participated in ten training sessions (using specific games for each group). The main contributions of this study are: the possibility to better understand the relationships between SES, executive functions and school performance related to this specific group; the possibilities for adjustments and application of games that are effective for the same group; and to diminish the differences in learning progress of children from underprivileged socioeconomic conditions.
