description Executive functions are cognitive abilities related to regulation and planning of behavior. It has been documented that executive functions in children could be affected by deficiencies in social context. The aim of this study is to determine if there are significant differences in executive functions in adolescents with different level of social marginalization. It was developed a transversal study with 240 students, 120 coming from a mid-high socioeconomic marginalization context, and 120 students living in a low marginalization context. It was evaluated students ́ socio-demographic characteristics and their perception of neighborhood and school as risk contexts. Finally, it were evaluated executive functions using Wisconsin Card Sorting Computer Test, London Tower, a task Go-No Go, Weschler Memory Test and a verbal fluency test. Data were analyzed with SPSS, using descriptive statistics for socio-demographic variables and t Student Test was applied to determine if there were significant differences between groups. Result showed that adolescent from the group of mid-high socioeconomic marginalization reported less income per month, their mothers and fathers had less schooling and the executive functions of that group, compared to adolescents living with less marginalization, had lower punctuations in the test applied. In addition, the adolescents with less social marginalization showed better scores in executive functions and less perception of contextual risks.

Las funciones ejecutivas son habilidades cognitivas que permiten la regulación y planificación de la conducta. En relación a los niños, se ha documentado que éstos pueden verse afectados por las carencias del contexto social. El objetivo del estudio es determinar si existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las funciones ejecutivas de adolescentes con distinto grado de marginación social. Se realizó un estudio transversal con 120 estudiantes de bachillerato pertenecientes a un sector de marginación media-alta y 120 pertenecientes a un sector de baja marginación. Se evaluaron las características sociodemográficas y la percepción de los riesgos contextuales de vecindario y escuela. Finalmente, se evaluaron las funciones ejecutivas con base en el Test de Clasificación de Cartas de Wisconsin, la torre de Londres, tarea tipo Go-No Go, prueba de memoria de la escala Weschler y un test de fluidez verbal. Los datos se analizaron en el paquete estadístico SPSS. Se realizó estadística descriptiva para las variables sociodemográficas. Además, fue aplicada la prueba t de Student para determinar si existen diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Los resultados mostraron que los adolescentes con mayor grado de marginación social, tienen un reducido ingreso mensual, menos años de escolaridad paterna/materna y escasa habilidad en las pruebas de funciones ejecutivas en comparación con los jóvenes que viven en el sector de menor marginación social, quienes presentaron mejores puntajes en las pruebas de funciones ejecutivas y menor percepción de riesgos contextuales.
