Resumen

La ontogénesis de las funciones ejecutivas es esencial para ex-plicar el desarrollo típico y atípico. Las funciones ejecutivas deben ser estu-diadas desde edades tempranas debido a sus consecuencias sobre la flexibi-lidad mental, la monitorización de la información, la planificación y el con-trol cognitivo. Proponemos un estudio diferencial en cursos de desarrollo alternativos: bebés típicos, bebés con Síndrome de Down y bebés con fac-tores de riesgo al nacer (hipotiroidismo congénito y bajo peso). Mediante la metodología observacional sistemática se registró la actividad espontánea de los bebés. Los resultados indicaron que: a) los bebés típicos mostraron mayor flexibilidad en su actividad y en el logro de objetivos; b) entre los bebés de riesgo, la menor eficacia ejecutiva se detecta entre los de bajo peso al nacer, en cambio los bebés con hipotiroidismo congénito se situaron más cerca de los bebés típicos, c) los niños con bajo peso al nacer mostraron un buen nivel de combinación de acciones pero menor número de resultados; y d) los bebés con Síndrome de Down mostraron más dificultades de fun-cionamiento ejecutivo, menor flexibilidad, mayor perseverancia y menor de-tección de errores
