The measures implemented due to COVID-19 significantly affected the life of society in general, however, diverse and differentiated effects are recognized in the population of children with disabilities, both in their emotional and behavioralwell-being. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effects of home lockdown, because of COVID-19 in the year 2020, on the emotional and behavioral state of children with disabilities. For this purpose, a descriptive, nonexperimental research was implemented, with a cross-sectional non-probabilistic selective design, being the study variables, home lockdown, and the emotional and behavioral state of children with disabilities. The participants were 68 parents of children with disabilities in Special Basic Education (SBE) and Regular Basic Education (RBE) in Metropolitan Lima, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The...

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder, whose prevalence has increased in recent years, showing in some cases deficits in the cognitive area, with processing speed (PS) being one of the affected variables. Therefore, the present study aims to: 1) compare the scores obtained in relation to the PS variable between students aged 6 to 11 with ASD and their peers with neurotypical development in Metropolitan Lima; and 2) establish the PS profile of the included students with ASD. For this, 30 children aged 6 to 11 attending to regular basic education institutions (RBE) in Metropolitan Lima were sampled, 15 with neurotypical development and 15 included with ASD. For the first objective, a case-control design (CCD) was used, while the second objective was a selective non-probabilistic cross-sectional design. Results showed a lower performance by the group wit...

La etapa preescolar es de elevada sensibilidad para el desarrollo de diferentes variables cognitivas, como la memoria de trabajo (MT) y velocidad de procesamiento (VP); asimismo, del lenguaje oral, destacando la morfología y la sintaxis. Por ello, el presente estudio se planteó los siguientes objetivos: (1) determinar si existe correlación entre las medidas de VP y MT, con respecto a las medidas de morfología y sintaxis del lenguaje oral, en estudiantes entre 5 años y 6 años 11 meses, de instituciones educativas del nivel inicial de los distritos de San Miguel, Pueblo Libre, Jesús María y Chorrillos; (2) formular el perfil de VP y MT, a partir de las medidas obtenidas en dicha población; y (3) formular el perfil morfológico y sintáctico del lenguaje oral, de los estudiantes de dicha población. La muestra fue de 49 sujetos (28 niños y 21 niñas) con desarrollo neurotípico, d...
