Abstract: Como o envelhecimento provoca dificuldade na capacidade de dividir a atenção, este estudo visou verificar, em jovens e idosos: (1) a eventual interferência entre uma tarefa visual e uma motora; (2) se essa interferência (caso exista) ocorre de forma diferente no desempenho de jovens e idosos; (3) se as tarefas propostas têm correlação com testes validados, de seqüência alfanumérica (TMT) e de levantar e caminhar cronometrado (TLCC). A tarefa visual consistiu na verbalização do reconhecimento de duas fi… Show more

Previous studies from our group have shown the difficulty of individuals with only a few years of education in a dual task involving lower limb alternation from the ground to a step and the visual discrimination of two targets on a screen 23,24 .…”

“…The WEFT performance was similar to the results reported by studies that investigated age and education effects on the TMT 16,17 . Poor executive function, which is usually associated with lower educational status 11,12 , correlated with a lower speed on motor tasks 20,21,23 . Although being a relatively simple task, the TUG test showed longer times in AES individuals 21 .…”
