Resumen

El objetivo del estudio fue caracterizar la función ejecutiva en 114 niños con síndrome de Down de una institución de referencia en Bogotá, Colombia. Los niños fueron evaluados con el Inventario de Desarrollo de Battelle para establecer su edad de desarrollo. Ochenta niños con una edad mental equivalente de 2 a 5,11 años fueron asignados a grupos de 20 de acuerdo con su edad mental. Luego, los padres y maestros completaron el Inventario de Calificación del Comportamiento de la Función Ejecutiva-Versión Preescolar. Encontramos una alta variabilidad y una baja correlación entre las calificaciones de los padres y los maestros. En general, los niños mostraron un perfil específico caracterizado por debilidad en los dominios de memoria de trabajo, desplazamiento, planificación y organización, y fortalezas en el dominio de control emocional. Estos hallazgos indican un patrón característico de la función ejecutiva en niños con síndrome de Down. Este perfil podría constituir la base para la planificación de programas de evaluación clínica.
