Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

Las funciones ejecutivas (FE) hacen referencia a los procesos neurocognitivos involucrados en la modulación intencional del pensamiento, las acciones y las emociones dirigidos a fines. Las diferencias individuales en las EF evaluadas durante la niñez predicen aspectos clave de su desarrollo. Asimismo, las intervenciones diseñadas para fomentar el desarrollo adecuado de las FE tienen el potencial de ayudar a niños con diferentes tipos de riesgo debido a una amplia gama de dificultades. Este artículo describe brevemente un modelo teórico de FE y su desarrollo -el modelo de Reprocesamiento Iterativo, que abarca diferentes niveles de análisis y que caracteriza a la autorregulación como el producto de una interacción dinámica entre influencias de tipo top-down (reflexivas) y bottom-up (reactivas).
