Desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas en niños preescolares. Una revisión de su vínculo con el temperamento y el modo de crianza

Abstract

The “executive functions” (ef) construct is term under which different processes related to conscious control of thought, behaviour, and emotions have been grouped. Research has shown that, during the preschool period these processes undergo significant improvement in their performance. Even though multiple variables influence this change, child temperament (t) and the mode of upbringing (mc) have been highlighted as important factors in this development. Meaning to analyse the correlation between ef, t and mc we will make a review of the main relations that have been established between these constructs during the preschool period. The review reveals that, although multiple publications find relations between ef, t, and mc, the diversity of the employed designs makes the comprehension that govern said relations harder. We will conclude by pointing out some criteria to be considered in the design of further research to classify the relations between these constructs.
