Abstract: Down syndrome causes a reduction in cognitive abilities, with visual-motor skills being particularly affected. In this work, we have focused on this skill in order to stimulate better learning. The proposal relies on stimulating the cognitive visual-motor skills of individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) using exercises with a gestural interaction platform based on the KINECT sensor named TANGO:H, the goal being to improve them. To validate the proposal, an experimental single-case study method was designed using two groups: a control group and an experimental one, with similar cognitive ages. Didactic exercises were provided to the experimental group using visual cognitive stimulation. These exercises were created on the TANGO:H Designer, a platform that was designed for gestural interaction using the KINECT sensor. As a result, TANGO:H allows for visual-motor cognitive stimulation through the movement of hands, arms, feet and head. The “Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA)” was applied to both groups as a pre-test and post-test in its four reference sections: visual comprehension, visual-motor sequential memory, visual association, and visual integration. Two checks were made, one using the longitudinal comparison of the pre-test/post-test of the experimental group, and another that relied on comparing the difference of the means of the pre-test/post-test. We also used an observational methodology for the working sessions from the experimental group. Although the statistical results do not show significant differences between the two groups, the results of the observations exhibited an improvement in visual-motor cognitive skills.

Elvio Marcos Boato,Geiziane Leite Rodrigues Melo,Mário Filho,Eduardo Moresi,Carla Lourenço,Rosana Maria Tristão +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors carried out an integrative review of the literature on the use of virtual and computational technologies in the stimulation of children with Down syndrome (DS) and found that the games used in the research were able to stimulate, through the visual field, global motor skills, balance, body scheme and spatial organization, in addition to the learning of mathematical concepts.
Design of a Mobile Application for the Learning of People with Down Syndrome through Interactive Games
TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype of a mobile application was designed for the learning of people with Down syndrome through interactive games, implementing the Scrum methodology for the development of the application prototype, using the Troncoso method for the teaching of reading and writing, but teaching of visual-motor coordination was added to the method and concerning the design of the prototype, the Balsamiq tool was used because it was the most appropriate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a distinction between simple temporal displacements in extension due to the repetition of primitive processes on the occasion of new problems analogous to old ones, and the temporal displacement in comprehension due to a transition from one plane of activity to another; that is, from the plane of action to that of representation.
