As part of my Ph.D. in cognitive linguistics and bilingualism, I am aiming to measure the executive functions of children and teenagers. To do so, I would like to find digitalized versions of tests used to measure the three core executive functions: inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Examples of the tests I would be interested in are the Simon task, the N-back task, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task.
I would really appreciate your feedback!
The CANTAB system developed by Cambridge Cognition might be exactly right for you. The one drawback here is that it's proprietary software, so you would need to invest in order to get started.

If you are on a tight budget (and who isn't!), you might consider PsyToolkit, PEBL, or PsychoPY. These are free software systems used to create and run cognitive psychological tasks. I am pretty sure that some of the tasks in which you are interested already exist on one or more of these platforms. If you have time and are so inclined, you could master any one of the systems and create your own battery.

Hola Maria Teresa, tenemos desarrollado un test para evaluar los tres componentes que indicas. Revisa el paper que te adjunto y si te interesa, escríbeme a mi correo [email protected]
saludos
Dear Maria Teresa,
We have developed a number of computerized cognitive assessment tests that may be of your interest. All of them are freely available to promote open science. They also allow you to perform the experiments while recording biosignals that may be of interest, such as the encephalography (EEG) signal. The tests developed focus on working memory, inhibition or attention function, among others.
Here is the link to download these applications for free:https://medusabci.com/market/
You can measure all those concepts through the NIH Toolbox, which you can give through an iPad.
