This research aims to describe and compare the executions of the tasks for assessing auditory- verbal retention in preschool and school children. The participants of the study were 210 children from third preschool level through sixth grade of primary school (30 from each school grade). The study took place in public institutions in the city of Puebla (Mexico). The protocol of "Neuropsychological Assessment for children in Puebla-Sevilla", which is an instrument derived from historical and cultural neuropsychology, was used. The instrument includes items for evaluation of diverse neuropsychological factors. According to the school grade, quantitative and qualitative differences were detected in children’ s execution. First grades of primary school presented severe errors, being the reduction of information amount one of the most frequent evidences. The article analyses the usefulness of common executions in children without difficulties in their development. Quantitative and qualitative differences are specified conforming to the school grades on behalf of chronological age.
