Resumen

Numerosos estudios han abordado las ventajas cognitivas del bilingüismo, es decir, se ha investigado sobre un mayor potencial cognitivo en personas bilingües, con un desarrollo diferente al neurotípico, lo que conlleva diferentes beneficios. Este trabajo presenta una revisión bibliográfica de artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años donde se analiza cómo el bilingüismo en edades tempranas influye positivamente en el desarrollo cognitivo de los niños y en el desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas. Para este análisis se tuvieron en cuenta diferentes criterios para discriminar entre los numerosos hallazgos y así asegurar la validez y fiabilidad del estudio. Esta revisión pretende sintetizar los hallazgos recientes, y sugerir implicaciones pedagógicas para fomentar entornos educativos inclusivos y eficaces, promoviendo el desarrollo cognitivo temprano desde la perspectiva de la neuroplasticidad.
