Diagramas de relaciones lógicas en tareas de transformación para preescolares

Se construyen los diagramas simbólicos representativos de las relaciones lógicas que niños de educación infantil de entre 3 y 5 años utilizan en el proceso resolutivo de una tarea de transformación presentada mediante código simbólico y planteada en dos formas : como aplicación del código y como descubrimiento del código. Los diagramas permiten explicar los resultados hallados en una experiencia con 211 niños preescolares.We construct symbolic diagrams that represent logic relations that preschool children from 3 to 5 years old use when they solve a transformation task that is being presented through a symbolic code in two different ways : as an application to the code and as a discovery of the code.The diagrams in the paper allow us to explain the results from an experience with 211 preschool children

A Summary of the Developmental Trajectory of Executive Functions from Birth to Adulthood

Executive functions (EFs) refer to cognitive control abilities that can sustain goal-directed behavior within complex contexts or changing contingencies. This cognitive functioning domain involves abilities such as inhibitory control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, attention, and planning and is particularly important for cognitive and socio-emotional advance. Longitudinal design studies have highlighted the relevance of adequate EF development during childhood as a predictor of improved health, higher academic achievements, a better employment status, and a lower incidence of disruptive social conduct, addictions, behavior problems, and psychopathology in adulthood. Hence, understanding EF development and its mediating predictors is a topic of interest for neuroscience. Research work over the past 20 years has produced highly relevant knowledge about specific EF developmental trajectories; however, few studies have compiled these results. This paper will re-examine EF development from early childhood until adulthood to include research reports published in peer-reviewed scientific journals from 2000 to 2019. We will delve into the existence of sensitive periods, growth and decline peaks, common patterns, and gender differences, highlighting unexplored topics and new challenges for future research. Understanding these cognitive development milestones will be a foundational step forward for the design of prevention and EF promotion programs throughout an individual’s vital cycle.Fil: Korzeniowski, Celina Graciela.
