Resumen

El presente estudio longitudinal analiza el efecto de la experiencia continua-discontinua de sensibilidad materna sobre el desarrollo cognitivo y socioemocional infantil. Se evaluó la sensibilidad en 55 madres a los 6, 12 y 18 meses durante una situación de juego madre-hijo, y los indicadores de desarrollo de sus hijos a los 18 meses. Los resultados indican que la experiencia de sensibilidad continua favorece el óptimo desarrollo cognitivo y socioemocional del niño, estando este último especialmente sujeto a la experiencia más reciente. Estos resultados refuerzan una perspectiva dinámica de la sensibilidad y resaltan la importancia de los aspectos socio-afectivos en el desarrollo cognitivo.

Información de financiación

El análisis de los datos fue realizado con el paquete estadístico SPSS versión 17 para Windows. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y ANOVAs para detectar diferencias en el nivel de sensibilidad materna según el nivel madurativo general y según la calidad del apego. En el primer caso se dicotomizó el índice de desa-rrollo general en función de la mediana del grupo. En el segundo caso, la variable apego incluía tres niveles (A, B y C), por lo que se realizaron pruebas post-hoc de Bonferroni para detectar diferencias entre los subgrupos.
