Psicol. caribe [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.3, pp.259-282.  Epub 07-Sep-2021. ISSN 0123-417X.  https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.37.3.371.914.

There is evidence of the effectiveness of Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment (FIE), basic version, on intelligence, visuospatial processing, and cognitive flexibility. As such skills may be impaired in neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and dyslexia, their efficacy was investigated in 22 children with such conditions. The experimental group (EG) was compared to pre and post-intervention control in neuropsychological tests, in up to 26 intervention sessions. Interaction between group and moment was analyzed, and performance differences between the two moments were compared. Such a comparison revealed greater gain of the EG in two tasks of cognitive flexibility with large effect size; in eight measures with moderate effect size (including intelligence measures, visuospatial processing and executive functions) and in 13 measures with small effect size. The control group presented greater gain only in appointment. It is concluded that PEI-basic showed effects especially in cognitive flexibility with children with ADHD and dyslexia.
