La contribución de las Funciones Ejecutivas a la Autorregulación
Abstract
RESUMEN
El termino autorregulación (AR) se ha solapado con conceptos como funciones ejecutivas (FE). Este artÃculo tiene por objeto establecer una diferenciación conceptual clara entre el término de AR y los constructos asociados a la misma, analizando las relaciones entre la AR y las FE y describiendo la contribución de las mismas en los espacios de actuación de la AR: cognición, comportamiento y emoción. Esto se realizó a través de una revisión de investigaciones que han abordado estas relaciones. Para esto, se efectuó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos, PsycInfo, ScienceDirect y Pubmed con los términos generales en inglés autorregulación (self-regulation), auto-control (self-control), funciones ejecutivas (executive functions), memoria de trabajo (working memory), flexibilidad cognitiva (cognitive flexibility), inhibición (inhibition), regulación emocional (emotion regulation), lectura (Reading), y matemática (math) y niños (children) combinado con el operador boleano “ANDâ€. Los resultados de esta búsqueda permitieron en primer lugar establecer diferenciaciones conceptuales entre los términos enunciados y en segundo lugar, enumerar e identificar algunas de las principales contribuciones de las FE a la autorregulación del comportamiento, cognición y emoción.
Palabras clave: autorregulación; autocontrol; funciones ejecutivas; revisión teórica; memoria de trabajo; flexibilidad; inhibición

ABSTRACT
The term SR has been linked to concepts such as executive functions (EF), and self-control which many times have been overlapped. This article aims to establish a clear conceptual distinction between the term of SR and constructs associated with it, analyzing the relationship between SR and EF and describing the contribution made by them in the performance spaces of SR: cognition, behavior and emotion. This was done through a review of studies that have addressed these relationships. For this, a literature search was performed on PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, PubMed and ScienceDirect with general English terms: self-regulation, self-control, executive functions, working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, emotion regulation, reading and math and children combined with the Boolean operator "AND". The results of this search allowed in first place establish conceptual distinctions between the terms and secondly, to list and identify some of the major contributions of the EF and self-regulation to behavior, cognition and emotion.
Key-words: self-regulation; self-control; executive functions; theoretical review; working memory; inhibition; flexibility

RESUMOÂ
O termo auto-regulação (AR) tem-se sobreposto com conceitos como funções executivas (FE). Este artigo tem como objetivo estabelecer uma distinção conceptual clara entre o termo AR e os construtos associados à mesma, analisando a relação entre AR e FE e descrevendo a contribuição das mesmas relações nos campos de desempenho da AR: Cognição, comportamento e emoção. Isso foi feito através de uma revisão de estudos que abordaram estas relações. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em bases de dados, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect e Pubmed com os termos gerais em Inglês auto-regulação (self-regulation), auto-controle (self-control), funções executivas (executive functions), memória de trabalho (working memory), flexibilidade cognitiva (cognitive flexibility), inibição (inhibition), regulação emocional (emotion regulation), leitura (reading), matemática (math) e crianças (children), combinados com o operador booleano "E". Os resultados desta pesquisa permitiram primeiro estabelecer distinções conceptuais entre os termos utilizados e em segundo lugar, identificar e enumerar algumas das principais contribuições das FE à auto-regulação do comportamento, cognição e emoção.
Palavras-chave: auto-regulação; auto-controle; funções executivas; revisão teórica; memória de trabalho; flexibilidade; inibição
