In this study, gesture interactive game-based learning (GIGL) is tested to see if these kinds of applications are suitable to stimulate working memory (WM) and basic mathematical skills (BMS) in early childhood (5-6 years old) using a hand gesture recognition system. Hand gesture is being performed by the user and to control a computer system by that incoming information. We can conclude that the children who used GIGL technology showed a significant increase in their learning performance in WM and BMS, surpassing those who did normal school activities.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Gesture Interactive Game-Based LearningHuman-Computer InteractionEarly Childhood EducationBasic Mathematical SkillsMaterias::Investigación::12 Matemáticas::1203 Ciencia de los ordenadores::120310 Enseñanza con ayuda de ordenadorMaterias::Investigación::58 Pedagogía::5801 Teoría y métodos educativos::580107 Métodos pedagógicosMaterias::Investigación::12 Matemáticas::1203 Ciencia de los ordenadores::120323 Lenguajes de programacióndoctoral thesisopen access
