Abstract

Antisocial behavior is related to the injury of the prefrontal cortex and a growing body of research points to the executive dysfunction as a risk factor for the onset, maintenance and abandonment of delinquency. Due to the complexity of the study of executive functions and the diversity of methodologies used for the study of this relationship, the empirical evidence is divergent. The aim of this paper is to clarify the relationship between delinquency and executive dysfunction in juvenile samples. For this purpose, a meta-analysis is performed with 33 published articles until 2014. The results of the meta-analysis support the existence of an executive alteration in young offenders. The magnitude of this alteration could be influenced by the age and the type of test used to evaluate executive functions.

Resumen

La conducta antisocial se relaciona con la lesión del córtex prefrontal, y un cuerpo creciente de investigaciones señala la disfunción ejecutiva como factor de riesgo para el comienzo, mantenimiento y abandono de la conducta delictiva. Debido a la complejidad del estudio de las funciones ejecutivas y a la diversidad de metodologías utilizadas para el estudio de esta relación, las evidencias empíricas son divergentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es clarificar la relación existente entre la conducta delictiva y la disfunción ejecutiva en muestras juveniles. Para ello se realiza un metaanálisis con 33 artículos publicados hasta 2014. Los resultados del metaanálisis apoyan la existencia de una alteración de las funciones ejecutivas en la población juvenil con conducta antisocial penada, y señalan que la magnitud de esta alteración puede verse influida por la edad y por el tipo de prueba utilizada para la evaluación de las funciones ejecutivas.
