Conducta disruptiva y función ejecutiva en un niño con trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad.

Abstract

The present research was focused on the analysis of disruptive behavior and executive functions in a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD with the aim of examining the influence between these two variables and their impact on the development of executive functions. The findings indicate that deficits in executive functions, such as inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility and planning, are fundamental factors that restrict the child's ability to regulate behavior, make adaptive decisions and structure tasks. These difficulties not only aggravate disruptive behaviors, such as impulsivity, aggressiveness and difficulty adhering to rules, but also have a negative impact on academic performance and social integration of individuals. Disruptive behaviors, in turn, constitute an impediment to the development of executive functions, generating a negative cycle that interferes with the learning process and the child's adaptation to his or her school and family context. It is imperative to recognize these characteristics and provide individualized psychoeducational interventions that promote both the development of self-regulation skills and the strengthening of executive functions, with the aim of optimizing the child's well-being and performance in different environments. The analysis highlights the imperative need to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to comprehensively address these challenges
