RehabilitaciÓn de las funciones ejecutivas
2004
Introduction. The executive functions are the high level functions that more studies have generated. These functions comprise a whole of cognitive abilities related to novelty problem solving. So, it includes: goal selection, planning, initiation of activity, self regulation and use of feed-back. There are many papers about the definition of executive functions and about their deficits in different pathologies. However, only exist a few works about the possibility of recovering of these functions and the elaboration of programs of cognitive rehabilitation. Aim and method. The aim of this report is to review the main rehabilitation programs of executive functions and to adapt them to our culture and context from a theoretical-practice perspective. In spite of the utility of these programs we make a reflection on their limitations. In this sense, we emphasized the oversight of emotional aspects involved in decision making. Besides, new directions for the investigation in this area are pointed out.
