The objective of this study was to find evidence of a relationship between the executive intelligence and the constructive praxia (cognitive functions of the spatial thinking), in the framework of the psicogenetic piagetana (Piaget, 1972; Piaget et Inhelder, 1972) and the psiconeurology of A. Luria (1974, 1977), using the Scale Executive Borelli-Oleron (Borelli and Oléron, 2000) and the test of Three Dimensional Constructive Praxia (Benton, 2010). We evaluated 54 schoolchildren from the first to the third grade of both sexes, from two schools in the city of Lima and Callao whose average age was 7.60 (SD = 0.89). Total scores for the scale Borelli-Oleron (B-O) in the sample 1 varied between 33.00 and 61.50 while the total scores of the scale Benton Three Dimensional (BTD) in sample 2 were between 5.00 and 28.00. By contrast the operative age compared the total score on the scales by the subjects in the concrete and preconcrete groups in each sample where the results in the scale B-O (t = 2.54; df = 10; p = 0.03) and BTD scale (t = 2.71; df = 10; p = 0.02) indicated that the scales discriminate subjects by operative age. The null hypothesis about the difference in the scores of the scales in each sample (by grade level, gender and level of academic performance) equated the evaluated samples (with only one of the scales) and allowed a matching (equivalent samples) for the association test scales where the correlation was positive and highly significant (r = 0.60; p = 0.001). Therefore, there was evidence of the relationship between executive intelligence and constructive praxia. Also tested the ability of genetic discrimination by operative age in both scales.
