One of the ways to study problem solving is through the paradigm of matrix reasoning tests. Eye tracking equipment produces data that demonstrates where the participant was looking during the test, and these eye gazes can reveal cognitive strategies used to solve the problem. The literature demonstrates that there are two main strategies, one global and one local, and that the application…
Resilience can be defined as the ability to recover or face adversities, favoring adequate and adapted development. It is seen as a dynamic process that depends on the cumulative effects of risk factors, which promote greater maladaptation, and protective factors, which promote greater adaptation. Interventions that aim to strengthen protective factors and foster resilience have been deve…
Reading and writing are important skills for academic achievement of school-age children, but they are complex skills that require cognitive development of other important skills. Among them are executive functions and alternating stimuli naming. Executive functions are a set of cognitive abilities such as inhibitory control, attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility, among others,…
We use cognitive strategies when trying to find some kind of solution to a task. In cognitive tests, these strategies can often be measured according to the movements and behaviors that a person emits during the task. However, there are tasks in which the person does not do any behavior that can be directly observed by the researcher. Thus, eye movement recording devices are a great tool …

The identification of the predictor cognitive abilities for the development of reading may be carried by the means of tests applied on children even before the literacy process. Instruments that assess rapid automatic naming and vocabulary are useful to predict reading performance. Rapid automatic naming is the ability to quickly name a printed symbol and it is related to reading fluency,…
