Analysis and Development of a Mobile Application to Improve the Semantic Memory of Children with Down Syndrome

The present research was developed with the purpose of clarifying the impact of the management of the mobile application on the improvement of semantic memory in children with Down's Syndrome. The type of research used is applied, pre-experimental with a quantitative approach, which is why statistical resources have been used for the analysis of the key results in search of approvals of the premises. In order to develop the study, fifteen (15) tutors dedicated to the academic training of children with Down's Syndrome were taken as a sample. Likewise, taking as a reference therapeutic rehabilitation institutes and schools with special abilities with the necessary requirements for a complex evaluation with an accurate percentage for the investigation. Consequently, all goals were fulfilled and all conjectures were accepted, therefore, it could be stated that the management of the mobile application for the reinforcement of the semantic memory of children, could increase motivation, cognitive skills and social skills; where it was possible to specify the correct management of the mobile application aimed at children with Down's Syndrome. Finally, it was stated that the theoretical basis of this study is oriented to the use of ICT tools that show great potential for the training of people with special abilities in the progress of semantic memory supporting the attention of students, increasing their cognitive ability, allowing to improve their ability of perception and linking with the surrounding environment.
