Resumen

en este estudio exploramos las diferencias en el control inhibitorio, la atención y la memoria de trabajo, a través de biomarcadores EEG, en tres tipos de juegos de lanzamiento (lanzamiento simple, lanzamiento a portería y lanzamiento simultáneo con otro jugador). Se recogieron registros encefalográficos de 8 niños de 7-8 años durante la realización de tres juegos de lanzamiento. Se compararon los espectros de frecuencia theta (4-7Hz), alfa (7-13Hz) y low beta (13-20Hz) de diferentes biomarcadores asociados al control inhibitorio, la atención y la memoria de trabajo. Los resultados de este estudio exploratorio muestran que pequeñas modificaciones en las condiciones de juego conducen a demandas significativas en el control inhibitorio, la atención y la memoria de trabajo. La acción contra un oponente que intenta interrumpir el lanzamiento requeriría un mayor control inhibitorio, así como una mejor concentración de la atención y un mayor uso de la memoria de trabajo. Por otro lado, la acción simultánea contra un oponente que tiene el mismo objetivo podría implicar una mayor excitación y acercamiento hacia el objetivo. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas entre los distintos juegos, con mayores demandas de control inhibitorio en los juegos de lanzamiento a portería (oposición con distintos roles) sobre los juegos sin oposición o con oposición pero con el mismo rol (lanzamiento simultáneo). Estos resultados muestran un nuevo campo de estudio e indican el interés de analizar las características de cada juego.
