Desarrollo de la conducta en nivel inicial: el rol de las funciones ejecutivas

Abstract

The present degree work is of a monographic nature and its main objective is to determine the influence that executive functions have on the behavior development of children at the initial level. This study has a qualitative approach, and therefore employs documentary research. It is worth noting that this study has reaffirmed the fundamental role that executive functions play in problem-solving, planning, emotional and behavioral regulation, as well as their importance in academic, social, and emotional development. Thus, it emphasizes the stimulation of inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, proposing that both teachers and family members provide a rich environment in stimuli to facilitate the learning of socially accepted behaviors that aid in community integration.
