Marcela Tenorio, Paulina S. Arango y Andrés Aparicio

Points of interest:

  • The BENDI study (Battery for Neuropsychological Assessment in Intellectual Disability) presents a new digital tool designed to overcome the limitations of traditional tests in the assessment of infants with Down Syndrome.
  • He focused on developing a battery mediated by digital technology that allows exploring key cognitive domains through the concept of stealth assessment, in which children with Down syndrome can perceive the assessment as a game.
  • Sixty-eight children with Down syndrome were evaluated from 20 months to 12 years of age.
  • Four tasks were tested, which were provided as a game-like experience.
