| Sumario: | Neuroconstructivism can provide Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) with a developmental framework to understand mental disorders. Neuroconstructivism proposes that mental disorders are the outcome of a developmental trajectory. Based on this assumption, symptoms would reveal the system’s adaptation to optimize functioning according to the system’s experience of the physical and social contexts. RDoC adopts a translational research approach with the aim of detecting, curing and preventing mental illness. More specifically this involves to: (1) identify early signs of mental disorders, (2) find the optimal patient-treatment fit, and (3) design efficient interventions to prevent the system’s eventual pathological functioning. We propose that meeting RDoC’s three-fold objective necessarily involves predicting the system’s developmental trajectory. Such endeavor requires counting with assessment tools that are sensitive to both the process of development and its different contexts; the measures provided by these tools will allow identifying the risk and protective factors that make the system vulnerable to depart from a typical developmental trajectory. Including vectors relative to time and contexts in a relevant part of the matrix will make of RDoC a truly integrative model, which considers the relationships between behaviour and neural circuits throughout the developmental pathway |
