Resumen

El presente ensayo pretende revisar las publicaciones asociadas a la tarea de atención en adultos en virtud del impacto de la respiración consiente. Las técnicas de respiración en los diferentes estilos de meditación han cobrado relevancia a la hora de evaluar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en niños, principalmente en algunas funciones superiores cognitivas como lo es el control inhibitorio. En adultos, hay información difusa no sistematizada de cómo podrían impactar estas prácticas en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, considerando que los adultos presentan supresión de la neurogénesis y la neuroprotección, lo que conduce a alteraciones patológicas en el estado de ánimo, la atención, memoria y aprendizaje, según lo descrito por Innes y Selfe (2014). La evidencia determina que es factible generar una intervención para la mejora del ambiente de aprendizaje, basado en el impacto que produce en los procesos atencionales. Este impacto podría determinar la adecuación de políticas públicas o intervenciones de instituciones públicas o privadas, con el fin de potenciar el aprendizaje en adultos y limitar el deterioro cognitivo de estos, a través del estímulo de sus funciones cognitivas que produce la respiración consiente.
