The present study aimed to determine the differences in the functions of the prefrontal cortex evaluated through the Semantic Classification tasks; Selection of Sayings and Metamemory among students with two levels of geographical and sociocultural origin and observe if these contrasts produced unequal performances. It was a comparative descriptive investigation where four subsamples of children from fifth and sixth grade of primary school were used. Two of them from Ayacucho and two from Lima. The four subsamples that were selected are intentional, not probabilistic (Sánchez and Reyes, 2006) in state educational institutions. As an instrument, three subtests of the Neuropsychological Battery of Executive Functions and Frontal Lobes of Flores, Ostrosky and Lozano (2012) were used. The results have made it possible to recommend preventive and psychoeducational actions to achieve higher levels of performance in the areas affected by the contexts of poverty and lack of cognitive and linguistic stimulation.
