Emotional Regulation, Cognitive Neurosciences, Early Childhood, AdolescenceAbstract
The present review study aims to conduct an in-depth investigation of the principles and theoretical advances generated by cognitive and affective neurosciences, in addition to the contributions of neuroeducation in understanding the mechanisms involved in the generation of behavioral repertoires of emotional self-regulation in child and adolescent populations. At a methodological level, what was done consisted of constructing a data matrix where thousands of scientific articles from the last four years were collected, in order to have a database that allowed the construction of this manuscript in which the most relevant aspects within the regulation of emotions are analyzed from a neuroscientific perspective, from neurobiological and neuropsychological substrates that account for the magnitude and scope of said mechanism to promote social and community life of human beings from the early stages of development. This study concludes that it is necessary to begin neuroeducation processes at home, where parents strengthen emotional self-regulation mechanisms, to ensure that the children and adolescents in their care can have better social and relational dynamics in their life cycles in an adaptive way in all challenging or difficult-to-manage social situations they may encounter.
