Social isolation and executive functions: a systematic review
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2024, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
This review reports articles aimed to analyze the relationship between social isolation and executive functions responsible for generating resources for adapting people to unusual situations. A PICO strategy was used to define the research question and essential guidelines of the PRISMA model, and databases in Scopus, Science Direct, Springer, and Google Scholar were reviewed. 7.042 articles that fulfilled the selection criteria were identified, finally reporting 12 investigations. It was concluded that social isolation is related to poorer general cognitive functioning, extending to other cognitive domains such as orientation, memory, and attention. It was also evidenced that isolation acts as a chronic stressor, showing decreased global cortical activity and increased cortisol.
