ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Executive functions are defined as a set of skills that are involved in various activities which are novel to the individual and which require a creative solution. It is not easy or straight forward to conceptualise or identify the factors that make up a population of young children.

AIM:

To analyse the components of executive function due to the clinical implications in different neurodevelopmental disorders in a population-based sample of young children. DEVELOPMENT From the body of literature, 35 published papers that used different factor analysis approaches for factor extraction were reviewed. The probability of a study with three factors being undertaken in the stage between 0 to 12 years is 1.44 times higher than studies being undertaken with some focus on another structure. The probability of a study being undertaken that focuses on the Flexibility dimension in the stage between 0 to 12 years is 1.45 times higher than a study being undertaken that focuses on any other dimension. The association between the different structures and dimensions that are analysed with respect to age using the Kendall tau-b indicates a statistically significant association between studies with three factors and age (tau = 0.29; p = 0.044) and flexibility with age (tau = 0.37; p = 0.012).

CONCLUSIONS:

The diversity of the obtained results can be attributed to, and is in line with, the plurality of theoretical conceptualisations, tests used and statistical analyzes carried out. It can be concluded that working memory, inhibition and flexibility are the executive processes most commonly found in the factorial models of executive control in young children and adolescents.
RESUMEN
TITLE Modelo de funciones ejecutivas basado en analisis factoriales en poblacion infantil y escolar metaanalisis.Introduccion. Las funciones ejecutivas se definen como un conjunto de habilidades implicadas en diversas actividades que son novedosas para el individuo y que precisan una solucion creativa. No es facil su conceptualizacion ni la identificacion de los factores que las configuran en la poblacion infantil y escolar. Objetivo. Analizar la estructura y los componentes de la funcion ejecutiva en poblacion preescolar y escolar. Desarrollo. Se revisaron 35 articulos que utilizan diferentes enfoques de analisis factoriales para la extraccion de los factores. La probabilidad de ocurrencia de un estudio con tres factores en la etapa de 0 a 12 años es 1,44 veces superior a la de los estudios que se centran en otra estructura. La probabilidad de ocurrencia de un estudio que se centra en la dimension de flexibilidad en la etapa de 0 a 12 años es 1,45 veces superior a la presencia de un estudio que se centra en cualquier otra dimension. La asociacion entre las diferentes estructuras y dimensiones analizadas con la edad con tau-b de Kendall indica una asociacion estadisticamente significativa entre estudios con tres factores y edad (tau = 0,29; p = 0,044) y flexibilidad con la edad (tau = 0,37; p = 0,012). Conclusiones. La diversidad de resultados obtenidos puede atribuirse y esta en consonancia con la pluralidad de conceptualizaciones teoricas, pruebas empleadas y analisis estadisticos efectuados. Se puede concluir que actualizacion/memoria de trabajo, inhibicion y flexibilidad son los procesos ejecutivos mas comunmente encontrados en los modelos factoriales de control ejecutivo en niños de preescolar y escolar.
