JIMENEZ-MARTINEZ, Martha; NIETO-SUA, Dary Lucia y MANRIQUE-ABRIL, Fred. Attention and Memory in Elementary School Students From Rural Public Schools in Boyacá, Colombia. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.2, pp.136-150. Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.7107.
Attention and memory are closely related and parallel processes in child development. This study aimed to establish the relationship between attention and memory processes in children from rural schools with respect to age, gender, and educational level. Fifty students were selected by random sampling within a descriptive correlational study. The Neuropsychological Assessment of Children test battery was used. The results showed significant differences with respect to age for the memory and visual attention subtests. In the gender variable, no significant differences were found. Regarding the level of schooling, significant differences were found for the attention and memory subtests except in logical memory. In conclusion, lower performance was observed when compared to urban population scales.
