Personalidad infantil y memoria auditiva inmediata en un grupo de escolares con rendimiento académico normal

The Neuroscience of Personality is a research area of recent development. Its aim is to understand the structure and functioning of personality from current developments in neuroscience. At present, it has been able to establish meaningful relationships between different personality factors and some cognitive processes and neuropsychological functioning in clinically normal population. This research aimed to evaluate the correlations between normal childhood personality and immediate auditory memory in a group of school children with normal academic performance. We evaluated a group of 36 children aged between 6 and 8 years without a history of neurological disease, psychiatric or neuropsychological or congenital or acquired brain injury, and no family history of neurological or psychiatric disease. We performed a statistical analysis of correlations and the degrees of correlations established between the three types of immediate auditory memory and each of the 13 personality factors in children. The correlations that were significant at p < 0.05, R Pearson, corresponded to those presented between factor B (Intelligence low-high) and logical memory (371), the factor C (Emotion unstable-stable) and associative memory (- .400), and factor G (Unconcerned –Conscious) and digital storage (366). The correlation analysis results are discussed from theoretical and conceptual proposals in cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
