    The assessment of executive functions in childhood employs various methods to understand cognitive abilities in educational contexts. However, challenges persist due to the need for comparable evaluation tools. Objective: To examine the relationship between parental perception of working memory and inhibition and direct cognitive assessment applied to schoolchildren in Cuenca during the 2022-2023 period. Method: Spearman rho correlation test was used with a sample of 212 children and their parents. Parents completed the CHEXI questionnaire, while children took the CAB® PRO test from CogniFit ©. Results: A weak but significant correlation was found between working memory scores from the CHEXI and CAB® PRO (p = 0.001), whereas the correlation for inhibition was not significant (p = 0.068). Conclusion: Parental perception partially reflects actual performance in working memory but not in inhibition, possibly due to the difficulty parents face in accurately assessing this function.
