Playful Physical Activity Program and Executive Function in Preschool Children

Visuospatial memory (BVMT-R immediate recall)

Visuospatial memory will be assessed using the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) immediate recall condition. Performance is based on accuracy and spatial placement of reproduced figures.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

Visuospatial memory (BVMT-R delayed recall)

Delayed visuospatial memory will be assessed using the BVMT-R delayed recall condition, measuring retention and reproduction of previously presented figures after a delay period.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

Planning and visuospatial organization (RCFT copy score)

Planning ability and visuospatial organization will be assessed using the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT). Performance is quantified using standardized scoring based on accuracy and organization.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

Linguistic competence

Linguistic competence will be assessed through tasks evaluating vocabulary, categorization, and verbal instruction-following abilities. Higher scores indicate better language skills.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

Social competence (QECS)

Social competence will be assessed using the Social and Emotional Competencies Evaluation Questionnaire (QACSE; Questionnaire d'Évaluation des Compétences Sociales et Émotionnelles), a 39-item instrument comprising five domains: self-control, social awareness, relationship skills, social isolation, and social anxiety.Each item is rated on a Likert scale, and total scores are calculated by summing item responses. Scores range from \[39 to 156\] (depending on the response scale used). Higher scores indicate better social and emotional competencies, except for negatively oriented subscales (e.g., social anxiety and social isolation), which are reverse-coded prior to total score calculation.
