Resumen
The main objective of this thesis was to study attention and memory in 8 to 12 year-old children who have been practicing chess continuously for a period of at least 6 months. TOMAL test that measures verbal memory, nonverbal and general memory, and Test D2 that measures attention were used for the study. In both cases the results obtained were compared with the tests scales in order to determine whether chess influenced in the development of these two cognitive skills. Results showed that attention standards were slightly better in the selected population; in verbal memory the results maintained normal levels, while non-verbal memory showed that levels were higher than the average standardized in the scales of TOMAL test, resulting in high levels of general memory on the population practicing chess.
