Funciones neuropsicológicas y su relación en las dificultades de las áreas básicas del aprendizaje en estudiantes de una institución fiscal de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of neuropsychological functions on the learning process. Its general objective is to examine neuropsychological functions in a group of higher education students with learning difficulties, as well as in those without, comparing the results of their standardized literacy tests. The type of research applied was quantitative, with a cross-sectional approach. Analytical and statistical methods were also employed. The instruments implemented were the Neuropsi manual, attention, and the writing process assessment battery, which effectively contributed to data collection. The participants for this study were 44 students, who were selected through incidental non-probability sampling. The results indicate that the analysis of neuropsychological data and learning skills assessments demonstrated a significant correlation between overall neuropsychological development and difficulties in core learning areas. Furthermore, the research suggests that the neuropsychological development of the students assessed is heterogeneous.
