La atención es el corazón de la inteligencia | Charo Rueda | TEDxPuertadePurchena

What is the relevance of attention to learning and intelligence? Attention is one of the most coveted resources at a time when people are constantly subjected to multiple stimuli. Executive attention is what guides us toward achieving our goals and regulates our behavior. Various studies conducted in early childhood demonstrate how attentional control also affects social and emotional development. Neuroscience and psychology study attentional control and its effects on intelligence, but how could this be applied in areas such as education or family life?
