Resumen

The current study tries to locate the best knowledge about the relationship between de executive functions and the language through a systematic review. We have reviewed 18 articles published between 2014 to 2020. These articles are related with the development of executive functions and language in an age range of 0 to 6 years. The findings shown a significant relationship between the executive functions and language development. Specifically, the results link language development with focus, working memory and flexibility. This relationship, although it is significant, is weak because those constructs are a multifactorial in nature. The most reports correlate executive functions with the vocabulary leaving out others language components. There is significant relationship between flexibility and working memory with the vocabulary, but the results conclude this relationship is not solid over time. Syntax and language comprehension are significant related with flexibility and working memory, too, but it is indirectly related with inhibition. To conclude, we extract that the executive functions and language development are positively related, but this development are influenced by more factors whom they must to be included to be explicate.
