Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es el análisis de la evolución en la investigación del aprendizaje de las lenguas en edades tempranas en la Web of Science (2010 a 2022) y Scopus (2010 a 2022).

Se ha realizado un estudio bibliométrico teniendo en cuenta los siguientes indicadores: diacrónico, geográfico, autores e institución de donde proceden sus producciones. Igualmente se ha realizado un análisis del desarrollo estructural de los temas de la muestra de referencias de las búsquedas combinadas.

Los análisis realizados determinan un patrón de crecimiento exponencial en la literatura científica en el aprendizaje y las edades tempranas en las dos últimas décadas (2010-2022), un periodo que cubre el 87,2% de la producción científica actual. En cuanto a la evolución de los temas investigados en el campo, se observa que las tendencias actuales se enfocan mayormente en dos áreas: (1) Neurociencias y patologías del lenguaje y (2) Psicología, ciencias sociales y tecnología, donde el valor A/Y son más altos, indicando que ambas áreas son las que mayor influencia en tienen en el tiempo.
