CADAVID-RUIZ, Natalia; DEL RIO, Pablo; EGIDO, Jaime y GALINDO, Purificación. Age Related Changes in the Executive Function of Colombian Children. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.spe5, pp.1-10. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-5.arce.
Executive Function (EF) is a higher cognitive process responsible for control and self-regulation of behavior. The aim of this study is to describe the developmental trajectory of EF in four and six-year old Colombian children, and to highlight possible differences by socio-cultural variables such as age, sex, type of school or socio-economic status. One hundred and sixty-three normotypical children were tested using psychological tests validated for a Spanish population belonging to the Weschler and Luria Initial batteries. HJ-biplot analysis showed that EF developed commensurate with age and school grade, although differences by socioeconomic status and type of school were evident.
