Objective: know the effectiveness of a remedial course for the strengthening of cognitive functions in young people with hearing impairment. Methodology: it's a quasi-experimental study of before and after, of longitudinal section. The quantification of the natural scores of the evaluations of cognitive functions by means of the Neuropsychological Battery “NEUROPSI” Attention and Memory, performed in young people with hearing impairment before and after a remedial course prior to signing an informed consent is described. The first evaluation was carried out prior to the start of the course, while the second was carried out when the three young people finished the third semester of the Human Communication Therapy degree. The data were obtained by reviewing the three files, from which the variables attention and memory (coding and evocation) were taken. The results showed an increase in the scores in the second evaluation with respect to the first evaluation in most of attention and memory sub-areas (coding and evocation) evaluated. Contribution: identify the importance and relevance of courses and programs focused on the improvement of cognitive functions in young people with hearing impairment, which provide the tools that allow them a greater and more efficient incorporation into the Higher Education System.

Storytelling in preschool ages plays an important role in the development of expressive and comprehensive language. Objective: to determine the impact of storytelling in the subtest of similarities of the WWPSI-Spanish Wechsler Intelligence Scale in preschoolers. Methodology: mixed, non-experimental, observational, cross-sectional study, with descriptive statistical analysis and non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. The sample consisted of 21 preschool children between 5 and 6 years old. The total score of the evaluation is 22, in the first evaluation a maximum score of 15 and a minimum of 2 was obtained, an average of 8.80 and a standard deviation of 4.52. In the second evaluation, a maximum of 19 and a minimum of 7 were obtained, an average of 14.52 and a standard deviation of 4.42, demonstrating significant advances in skills for the semantic categories. Contribution: Stimulation through storytelling favors the development of the expressive and comprehensive language of children, so it is suggested that preschool programs include activities such as storytelling, as it is a fundamental tool for the improvement of cognitive skills and the integral development of children
