Executive Profile in 5-to-7 Year-Old Children in Ambato (Ecuador)

Abstract:

The importance of the study of Executive Functions, both the evolutionary aspects and their relevance in learning processes, is increasing. This paper presents the results obtained by 135 students from Ambato, between 8 to 12 years old, in the Attention-Executive Function scale of the NEUROPSI test battery. The analysis of the data has allowed us to verify that there are no significant differences according to sex and that the students with extreme scores, above or below the normative group, are those with more years of schooling. The initial test in students from Ambato will serve as a basis for the implementation of a program to stimulate and strengthen their executive profile.
