Condiciones tempranas del desarrollo y el aprendizaje: el papel de las funciones ejecutivas

Comparison of Executive Functions in School Children Aged 7 to 12 Years in a State of Malnutrition Due to Thinness, Risk of Thinness and a Control Group of an Educational Institution of the Locality of Ciudad Bolívar- Bogotá, D.C.

“…Activate and produce verbal and nonverbal elements in fluency tasks which are goal-oriented activities that must be maintained throughout the task and require mental flexibility to move from one category to another and sustained attention in order not to generate intrusions. These results are consistent with previous research that had identified widespread alterations of executive functions in children with malnutrition thinness (severe malnutrition) [27,44].…”

“…The findings in the risk of thinness group allow evidencing that while it is true that some processes of the executive function are preserved, poor performances occur in skills that involve the adoption of feedback, which is the basis for the subsequent generation of flexibility during adolescence, an adaptive mechanism that would allow a greater capacity to respond to life demands, take fewer risk behaviors and reduce the chance of error in problem solving [41,[43][44][45][46].…”

Estilos parentales y estrategias de afrontamiento en pacientes con hipotiroidismo congénito detectado y tratado en forma temprana

“…Este hallazgo coincide con estudios previos que explican sobre la influencia de las estrategias de resolución de los padres, que moldean estrategias menos funcionales en el hijo. 12,13 La literatura señala la importancia del ajuste psicológico de los padres de niños con HC y sus dificultades para afrontar la enfermedad del hijo que repercutirían en las estrategias de afrontamiento de los hijos. 3,14,15 Esto explicaría las diferencias con el GC en el menor rendimiento en el subtest de comprensión (WISC III), que evalúa el nivel de elaboración de estrategias para resolver situaciones cotidianas.…”

Parenting styles and coping strategies among patients with early detected and treated congenital hypothyroidism

“…Such finding is consistent with prior studies that explain the influence of parental coping strategies, which shape less functional strategies in their children. 12,13 The bibliography points out the importance of making a psychological adjustment among the parents of children with CH and of their difficulties to cope with their children's disease; this may have a consequence on their children's coping strategies. 3,14,15 This would explain the lower performance in the comprehension subtest (WISC III) compared to the CG, which assesses the level of strategy development to deal with the situations of daily living.…”
