Sinopsis

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.
