Inhibición

La inhibición, un componente del funcionamiento ejecutivo, a veces llamado control inhibitorio, es la capacidad cognitiva para suprimir la Atención a información irrelevante y enfocarse en estímulos o información pertinente. La inhibición es esencial para la Autorregulación, permitiendo a los estudiantes regular sus pensamientos y acciones, lo cual puede respaldar la perseverancia. Los estudiantes con TDAH pueden mostrar dificultad para seguir las expectativas y rutinas de comportamiento en el aula, incluso si tienen una mayor Atención, debido a diferencias continuas en los patrones de desarrollo cerebral en áreas responsables del control inhibitorio. El control inhibitorio puede apoyar las Colaboraciones de los estudiantes, probablemente a través de la resolución de conflictos, junto con la Creatividad, la solución de problemas y el aprendizaje apoyando la capacidad de enfocarse en información y objetivos relevantes y usar estrategias efectivas.

Ideas Principales

La inhibición se desarrolla durante la adolescencia y hasta la adultez temprana con el desarrollo maduracional del cerebro, junto con el desarrollo de otras funciones ejecutivas, pero se vuelve más distinta durante la adolescencia. La inhibición puede ocurrir a nivel conductual, donde las respuestas están controladas, o a nivel cognitivo, donde la Atención se centra en información relevante. Sin embargo, puede ser difícil separar estos niveles, ya que la inhibición cognitiva promueve la inhibición conductual.

La inhibición, como todas las funciones ejecutivas, es susceptible a influencias ambientales, incluyendo el exceso de tiempo frente a pantallas, o factores de estrés como Experiencias Adversas, que pueden interferir con el desarrollo y procesamiento, y pueden causar dificultades académicas y conductuales si no se apoyan. Algunos estudiantes, incluidos aquellos con TDAH o discapacidades de aprendizaje como dislexia y discalculia, pueden mostrar diferencias en el uso del control inhibitorio para apoyar su enfoque y aprendizaje, debido a diferencias en la estructura cerebral.
