Cognitive strategies are resources used in solving everyday problems and make it possible to automate information processing and optimize the use of cognitive resources. Such strategies are organized through heuristics and biases that can both optimize behaviors and generate ineffective responses. Among the intra-individual components that are related to the use of good cognitive strategi…
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…

Cognitive strategies are a set of mental processes that are employed to regulate both the thought processes and their contents in order to solve problems and achieve different goals. The use of cognitive strategies is necessary for the interaction of individuals with the environment as they make decisions, plan and react to events. A particular class of strategies are those involved in ta…

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,…
