Impulsividad, funciones ejecutivas y aprendizaje: Una relación para reflexionar
Resumen
La impulsividad subclínica, es definida como un rasgo estable de la personalidad en el cual los individuos que la manifiestan presentan conductas de riesgo y una toma de decisiones deficiente. La presencia de impulsividad se asocia a un desempeño subóptimo en diversos procesos cognitivos, como la memoria de trabajo, la flexibilidad cognitiva y la inhibición, procesos que facilitan la organización y la regulación de la conducta, por lo que impactan de forma negativa en distintos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana del individuo, como el laboral, el social y el académico. El presente trabajo tiene como propósito hacer una revisión narrativa del concepto de impulsividad y el funcionamiento ejecutivo en relación con el aprendizaje en estudiantes de nivel superior.
