Evaluación de las funciones ejecutivas en el niño (BRIEF, D-KEFS, Test Stroop de colores y palabras y otros tests)

CONCLUSIONES
A menudo, en la práctica cotidiana, se nos presenta un niño o adolescente
incapaz de autorregular su conducta de modo adecuado y según
las exigencias del entorno; pero que, a su vez, despierta en
nosotros la sensación íntima, y hasta la firme convicción, de que,
independientemente de su cociente intelectual o de su diagnóstico
académico, ese paciente tiene ‘más’ dentro de sí que lo que realmente
demuestra, y que si lograse mejorar esas habilidades de autocontrol
aumentaría su eficiencia y su vida sería mucho más fructífera y feliz.
El tema de las FE parece estar muy implicado en la imagen
descrita. Constituye, ciertamente, un campo de investigación
incipiente, pero de gran interés, no sólo teórico, sino también
práctico, en el que merece profundizarse.
