Abstract :
The objective of this work is to study the functionality of the mirror neurons in the knowledge acquisition process, so that a research was carried out on the relation between this system of neurons and the acquisition of knowledge in early childhood, period of great neural plasticity that allows great retention of content. The research methodology used was the narrative descriptive review of literature with a theoretical approach, using several bibliographic sources related to the theme. To this end, the study began with the analysis of the main theories of classical psychology about human development. Afterwards, the mirror neuron was studied in detail, from its discovery to its functions, highlighting its effectiveness in early childhood. Finally, the main theories about the importance of empathy in the acquisition of knowledge were analyzed, observing with one of these theses the possibility of using several teachings not directly related to each other to truly understand how development and learning takes place at this stage of life. As a conclusion, the study concludes that the empathy and healthy relationship with the primary caregivers for the development of the child is of utmost importance, and the mirror neurons, with their set of functions, are able to expand and facilitate the capacity to acquire and conserve knowledge in early childhood, ideal stage for the development of social and cognitive skills.
