Abstract

This pilot study explored changes in executive functions of eight preschoolers (3-4 years) following a six-week motor storytelling intervention (18 sessions). Using the TENI test, improvements were observed in executive functions (+42.1%), memory (+41.6%) and language (+18.8%), with minimal changes in attention (+4.5%). The findings suggest that integrating movement and narrative favors early cognitive development. It is concluded that motor stories constitute a viable perdagical resource for future experimental studies on child self-regulation.
