Behavioral Economics has shown the limitations of conventional economics to explain the behavior of economic agents, achieving its acceptance and recognition in the academic field and in practical areas. However, the foundation of the two systems to explain the mental processing of behavior has reductionist limitations. The present article aims to base the theoretical conception of the cognitive functioning of human behavior from the theory of Behavioral Economy. The methods used are at the theoretical level of the research, specifically related to the analysis of the literature, the systematization of the contents, and the modeling of the proposal.The final reflections indicate the need to develop the methods and techniques that allow the study of economic behavior from a complex perspective, although it recognizes the value of the proposed theoretical conception in overcoming the dualistic and reductionist limitations of the preceding models. Keywords: Behavioral sciences, Behavioral economics, Economic behavior, Heuristics, Cognitive biases Resumen La Economía Conductual ha evidenciado las limitaciones de la Economía convencional para explicar el comportamiento de los agentes económicos; logrando su aceptación y reconocimiento en el ámbito académico y en áreas prácticas. Sin embargo, la fundamentación de dos sistemas para explicar el procesamiento mental del comportamiento presenta limitaciones reduccionistas. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo fundamentar la concepción teórica del funcionamiento cognitivo del comportamiento humano desde la teoría de la Economía Conductual. Los métodos empleados se encuentran en el nivel teórico de la investigación, específicamente relacionados con el análisis de la literatura, la sistematización de los contenidos y la modelación de la propuesta. Las reflexiones finales señalan la necesidad de desarrollar los métodos y técnicas que permitan el estudio del comportamiento económico desde una perspectiva compleja, aunque reconoce el valor que encierra la concepción teórica propuesta al superar las limitaciones dualistas y reduccionistas de los modelos precedentes. Palabras Clave: Ciencias del comportamiento, Economía conductual, Comportamiento económico, Heurísticas, Sesgos cognitivos.
