Impacto de la literatura infantil en el desarrollo neurológico durante la primera infancia
Palabras clave:
literatura infantil, desarrollo del niño, neurociencias, educación de la primera infanciaSinopsis
El libro Impacto de la literatura infantil en el desarrollo neurológico durante la primera infancia examina las relaciones entre las experiencias literarias tempranas y los procesos de maduración cerebral que intervienen en el desarrollo cognitivo, lingüístico y socioemocional de los niños. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria sustentada en aportes de la neurociencia y la psicología evolutiva, la obra analiza la influencia de la narración oral y la lectura compartida en la plasticidad neuronal y en la construcción progresiva de habilidades intelectuales. Se estudian los mecanismos vinculados con la memoria y la atención, junto con el pensamiento simbólico y la regulación emocional. Asimismo, se examina la participación de los relatos infantiles en la configuración de vínculos afectivos y en el desarrollo de la empatía. La obra incorpora una reflexión sobre las experiencias narrativas multisensoriales y las tecnologías digitales aplicadas a la mediación literaria. Su planteamiento reconoce la diversidad de trayectorias del neurodesarrollo y la necesidad de interpretar críticamente la evidencia científica disponible. A partir de dicha perspectiva, se presentan criterios pedagógicos para diseñar ambientes lectores enriquecidos que favorezcan experiencias significativas durante los primeros años de vida y contribuyan a una educación infantil sensible a las particularidades individuales.
