Relaciones entre las funciones ejecutivas y la tolerancia al distrés en niños de edad escolar
Las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE) son procesos cognitivos de control que intervienen en distintos dominios, incluyendo la regulación emocional. Si bien se espera que estos se relacionen con habilidades como la Tolerancia al Distrés (TD), hay escasos estudios sobre su asociación en niños y también pocos que hayan evaluado el rol de cada FE en esta habilidad. Este estudio examinó la relación entre FE (memoria de trabajo, inhibición y flexibilidad cognitiva) y TD en niños de edad escolar. Se realizó un estudio correlacional, con una muestra de 48 niños de 7 a 9 años de edad. FE y TD fueron evaluadas mediante cuestionarios de reporte de padres. La TD mostró una correlación elevada con la flexibilidad cognitiva, y correlaciones moderadas con la memoria de trabajo e inhibición. Asimismo, al considerar la contribución conjunta de cada FE, solo la flexibilidad cognitiva predijo significativamente la TD. Estos hallazgos brindan evidencia sobre la relación entre las FE y la TD en niños de edad escolar, destacando el rol de la flexibilidad cognitiva, y resaltan la necesidad de estudios que permitan comprender mejor esta relación en esta etapa del desarrollo.

Predictores cognitivos de la capacidad de planificación en niños de 6 y 7 años de edad
(analítico): La planificación implica la habilidad para identificar y organizar secuencias de acciones con el fin de alcanzar metas específicas. En la literatura se observan resultados dispares respecto de cuáles son los mejores predictores de esta capacidad en niños. Nuestro objetivo en este trabajo fue identificar en qué medida la voluntad de control, el control inhibitorio perceptual, la memoria de trabajo y la inteligencia fluida explican tal capacidad en niños que inician la educación primaria básica. La muestra estuvo conformada por 289 participantes de entre 6 y 7 años de edad.Los resultados indicaron que únicamente la inteligencia fluida y la memoria de trabajo se asociaban y explicaban la capacidad de planificar. Discutimos las implicaciones de estos resultados para el diseño de futuras investigaciones.

Executive functions contributions to copying and text production in elementary school children
Executive functions (EF), including verbal and visuospatial working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, are associated with academic skills such as copying and producing written texts in school-age children. The objective of this study was to examine the association between primary school children's executive function skills and their ability to copy and produce written texts. We included 282 children attending primary school (children in fourth to sixth grade; mean age = 10.22 years, SD = 0.86). Text copying tasks (transcription) and a photographic description (expressive writing skills) of the BEEsc Battery (Batería para la Evaluación de la Escritura) were administered. The visual search, working memory, flexibility, and inhibition tests of the TAC (Tareas de Autorregulación Cognitiva) battery were administered for EF. Children with better resistance to distractor interference and response inhibition scores wrote more words and made fewer phonological errors in the copy task; and their written composition quality improved with less omission errors, shifting and visuospatial working memory in the production task. In addition, we found that both copy, and production skills varied as a function of demographic factors, finding higher scores in higher grade students and among girls. The findings indicate that children with higher EF skills exhibit enhanced writing copy and composition performances. Furthermore, demographic differences (gender and school grade) significantly influenced writing outcomes, underscoring the need for tailored educational strategies. These findings point to the role of EF in writing and provide theoretical input for classroom practices.

Does cognitive inhibition contribute to working memory and reasoning during childhood?
Theoretical frameworks suggest that cognitive inhibition suppresses irrelevant information in working memory, preventing overload and promoting the processing of task-relevant information. Consequently, it may also contribute to more complex skills, such as abstract reasoning, by facilitating the retention and processing of patterns and relationships. However, empirical evidence does not consistently show these relationships in early elementary school years. This study aims to examine the validity of the following theoretical proposition: cognitive inhibition is a fundamental process that influences working memory, and both contribute to abstract reasoning in children aged 6–8 years. The final sample included 293 schoolchildren from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades, who completed tasks measuring cognitive inhibition, working memory, and reasoning. Age was also considered in the analyses. The main results indicate that age is associated with improvements in working memory and reasoning (explaining 19% of the variance), but not with cognitive inhibition performance. Additionally, cognitive inhibition directly contributes to working memory (explaining 19% of the variance), and working memory, but not cognitive inhibition, contributes to abstract reasoning (the model explains 23% of the variance). No indirect effects were found. We discuss the importance of incorporating specific relationships between cognitive skills at different developmental stages into theoretical and practical proposals.

Contribución de la tolerancia al distrés y la memoria de trabajo a la comprensión lectora en niños de 9 a 12 años de edad
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la capacidad explicativa de la tolerancia al distrés (TD) en la comprensión lectora (CL) de textos narrativos y expositivos, considerando conjuntamente el rol de la memoria de trabajo (MT) en niños de 9 a 12 años de edad. Se evaluaron 211 niños que cursaban cuarto a sexto año de educación primaria. La TD se evaluó mediante el Indicador Comportamental de Resiliencia al Distrés, la MT con una tarea de amplitud compleja de dígitos con interferencia, mientras que la CL de texto narrativo y expositivo con una prueba de screening apropiada a la edad. Los resultados muestran que, al ser consideradas conjuntamente, la MT contribuye al desempeño en CL tanto de textos narrativos como expositivos, mientras que la TD no realiza un aporte significativo. El estudio aporta al conocimiento de factores que contribuyen al desempeño en CL en niños de edad escolar.

El rol de la autorregulación como recurso operativo en la predicción del involucramiento escolar: transición preescolar-primaria
Se analizaron las relaciones entre la autorregulación y la preparación para la escolarización en preescolar, y la validez predictiva de ellas sobre el involucramiento escolar en primaria. Se utilizó un diseño longitudinal en tres tiempos, multi-informante y multi-método. Participaron 58 niños entre 62 y 76 meses de edad, de tres instituciones educativas de Uruguay. Se utilizó la Evaluación de la Autorregulación en Prescolar para medir autorregulación, el Inventario de Desarrollo Infantil para la preparación para la escolarización y la Escala de Involucramiento Escolar para evaluar ese constructo. Se obtuvieron correlaciones moderadas y significativas entre variables. El análisis de regresión múltiple determinó la validez predictiva del funcionamiento ejecutivo (β = .50, p < .01 y .44, p < .05; R² = .31 y .23 en T1 y T2, respectivamente) sobre el involucramiento escolar un año después, controlando por sexo y CI. Se discuten las implicancias de estos hallazgos en primera infancia.

As Time goes by: A Longitudinal Study on the Mental Health of Argentinians during the COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 mitigation measures such as lockdown and social distancing could have a negative impact on mental health. Understanding their impact is essential to minimize adverse effects on individuals, families, and communities. This longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation in the Argentinian population over time. An online survey evaluating anxiety and depression symptoms, positive affect, and negative affect, was completed by 3,833 people at three different time points: immediately after the lockdown began, 12–15 days after the first assessment, and after 47–51 days. Various socio-demographic factors were considered. A series of mixed repeated-measures ANOVAs were performed, with results showing significant increases over time (with small effect sizes) in anxiety, depression, negative affect, and a decrease in positive affect. Some socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, number of children, and educational level differentially affected these changes. These results suggest that mental health and quality of life were negatively affected, making it essential to monitor emotional distress and other mental health problems in the population and encourage the implementation of support and containment devices to cope with these adverse effects.
