Resumen

La investigación que existe en tomo al desarrollo del conocimiento humano sobre el tiempo muestra que en los primeros años de vida los niños adquieren información importante sobre la temporalidad que les posibilita una adaptación adecuada a su ambiente y el desarrollo de conductas afectivas, perceptivas, cognitivas, lingüísticas y sociales fundamentales. Además, muestra que cuando se consigue el dominio de las herramientas cognitivas y lingüísticas en torno a los 6–8 años de edad, no se adquiere un único concepto sobre el tiempo, sino que se conocen diversos aspectos del tiempo difíciles de ser aunados en un concepto único, todos los cuales son necesarios para el funcionamiento adecuado en el mundo de compleja estructura en que nos encontramos. Tras las últimas modificaciones ocurridas en la adolescencia, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la perspectiva temporal, el razonamiento sobre el tiempo adquiere las características de la cognición temporal adulta.

Abstract

Current research on the development of human's knowledge about time shows that during the first years of life children acquire important information about temporality that facilitates, on the one hand, andequate adaptation to their environment, and, on the other, the development of fundamental affective, perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, and social kinds of behaviour. Furthermore, findings show that when mastery of cognitive and linguistic tools are achieved, at about 6–8 years of age, it is not a single concept of time that is acquired but rather diverse aspects of time that are difficult to encompass within a single and unique concept. All of these are necessary for proper functioning in a world so structurally complicated as the one in which we live. After the modifications which take place in adolescence, especially from a temporal perspective, time reasoning acquires characteristics of adult temporal cognition.
