El impacto de la duración del sueño en la consolidación de la memoria declarativa en niños de 6 y 7 años en su etapa escolar

Abstract

This study focuses on the critical relationship between sleep and declarative memory in children aged 6 and 7, an area of growing interest in cognitive neuroscience. Cognitivism, a perspective that examines internal mental processes, serves as a theoretical framework to understand how sleep influences memory, attention, and learning. The research aims to determine whether sleep duration and quality directly impact children's performance on declarative memory tasks. Through surveys and interviews, differences in memory consolidation are explored between children with healthy sleep habits and those with sleep deficiencies. The results highlight the importance of promoting adequate sleep routines to optimize cognitive development and academic performance. Restorative sleep not only strengthens memory, but also contributes to children's long-term mental and physical health.
