DESCRIPTION:In today's digital world\, understanding how children filter o
 ut irrelevant information is crucial for cognitive science and education. 
 We present a task battery designed to assess semantic and executive contro
 l in children aged 4-10 years\, with initial data already collected in Ita
 lian. Semantic control tasks involve recognizing relations in meaning betw
 een stimuli\, while executive tasks rely on non-semantic visuospatial feat
 ures. Control demands are manipulated by pairing target stimuli with distr
 actors that vary in their semantic or visuospatial similarity. Our next go
 al is to develop a multilingual\, online app that integrates gamification 
 techniques into these tasks. This platform will allow children to complete
  short\, engaging game-based sessions from home using tablets or smartphon
 es\, enabling large-scale\, cross-linguistic assessment and training. We s
 eek expert feedback on methodological considerations in gamifying cognitiv
 e assessments for children\, strategies for cross-linguistic adaptation\, 
 maintaining data quality in an online\, gamified environment.
