Prenotions of temporality in children

Objective: To create hypotheses about the development of preconceived notions of the temporality in children, as processes that come before the elaboration of the temporality that includes duration and succession. Methodology: documentary review and hermeneutic reading of literature. Results: The preconceived notions are related to sleep and hunger cycles, registered in circadian rhythms, controlled by neurological systems that are connected to regularize a routine that allows the construction of the notion of temporality, through the relational cycle, built in the cerebral cortex, with the contribution of the biological, psychic and social system. Conclusions: the preconceived notions of temporality are initially linked to cyclical processes controlled by highly differentiated neurological systems that are fit together with the relational cycles of affect and play.
