Brief Summary: Background: Games using motion capture from webcam have become increasingly popular. A population that lacks much stimulus in the teaching-learning process has under-explored the benefits of this kind of games: The Intellectually Disabled. The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of games with virtual reality in the total reaction time. Method: A convenience sample of 165 Intellectually Disabled participants will have their performance measured using a virtual reality game. The intervention is to play two different games twice, in two sessions with an interval of, at least, seven days between the sessions. Participants will be randomized between two raters, both master students.
