Resumen

Antecedentes. La evidencia de que la IA generativa (IAG) erosiona la cognición de orden superior procede de encuestas correlacionales y tareas de laboratorio con universitarios del Norte global. No se ha probado en secundaria si ese costo pertenece a la tecnología o al diseño instruccional que la rodea. Objetivos. Evaluar si una unidad STEAM intercultural de ocho semanas que trata la IAG como objeto de verificación, no como fuente de respuestas, mejora las funciones ejecutivas, y si el prompting explica el cambio en inhibición. Método. Cuasiexperimento pretest-postest con dos grupos intactos en Saraguro, Ecuador (N = 138). El experimental (n = 70) construyó prototipos de riego automatizado bajo un protocolo de prompting anclado en el manejo ancestral del agua kichwa; el control activo (n = 68) hizo el mismo encargo sin IAG. Se aplicó el BRIEF-2 (ANCOVA con covariable de línea base; Bonferroni = ,0167) y el prompting se calificó con una rúbrica de tres facetas regresada sobre el cambio residualizado. Resultados. Con líneas base equivalentes, los efectos favorecieron al experimental en Planificación (d = 1,33), Flexibilidad (d = 0,85) e Inhibición (d = 0,62). El prompting predijo el cambio en Inhibición (r = −,74; R² = ,54), pero no en Flexibilidad (r = −,22); Verificación aportó el 20,8 % de la varianza. Conclusiones. La asociación fue específica por faceta: entrenamiento dirigido de la inhibición, no beneficio cognitivo general. El autoinforme y la confusión condición-institución limitan los hallazgos a la plausibilidad.

Her vocation is driven by a clear purpose: to contribute to healthier childhoods and adolescences, fostering the development of resilient adults. She is the author of several books and scientific articles published in indexed and Scopus-indexed journals, including the book Cerebros que Aprenden (Brains That Learn).

Lisseth Consuelo Sánchez Álvarez, Universidad Nacional de Loja

Bachelor’s degree in Psychopedagogy, social activist, and researcher.

Camila Mishell Romero Alberca, Universidad Nacional de Loja

Camila Romero was born on August 31, 2001, in the city of Loja, Loja Province, Ecuador. An only child, she developed a particular curiosity from an early age about understanding people, their emotions, and the ways in which they relate to the world. Over the years, she discovered that psychology would become an essential part of her life, as she has always been characterized by her ability to listen, demonstrate empathy, and maintain a genuine interest in observing and understanding human behavior.

She is a Clinical Psychologist who graduated from the National University of Loja, where she is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Psychology, specializing in Childhood, Adolescence, and Diversity. During her professional training, she completed pre-professional internships at Acción Feminista por la Paz (Feminist Action for Peace) and at a healthcare center. These experiences allowed her to engage with diverse social realities while strengthening the knowledge and skills necessary for her professional practice.

Her interest in childhood and adolescence holds a particularly significant place in her academic and professional development, as she considers these stages fundamental to understanding human development. During these formative years, many of the emotional, social, cognitive, and relational foundations that influence later stages of life begin to take shape. Therefore, studying and supporting these developmental processes represents an opportunity for her to understand not only who individuals are in the present, but also how their identities, experiences, and personal development are shaped throughout their lives.
