“…The Beck Depression Inventory 8 was used to assess the depression frequency, and the Lawton Daily Life Activity Scale 9 was used to sort participants with minor neurocognitive disorders from major ones. The neuropsychological battery of tests included the following tests: Intellectual Functioning Estimate: subsets Vocabulary 10 and Matrix Reasoning 10 ; Memory: Digits 10 , Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) 11 , Rey Complex Figure 12 ; Visuoconstruction: Copy of Rey Complex Figure 12 ; Speed Information Processing: Codes 10 ; Executive Function: Verbal Fluency (F-A-S 13 and Animals 14 ); Attention: Trail Making Test (A and B) 15 and Stroop Test 15 and Motor Skill: Grooved Pegboard 16 . The application of these evaluation instruments was performed blindly, that is, the evaluator did not know the clinical condition of the patient.…”

Background Although classical human T-cell lymphocyte virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis syndrome is the most frequent HTLV-1-associated neurological disorder, some “minor” neurological disorders can be seen in “asymptomatic” carriers. These disorders, including cognitive alterations already described in clinical cases and studies, may constitute an intermediate syndrome (IMS) between the asymptomatic state and myelopathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of cognitive deficits in patients with HTLV-1 virus, who usually are diagnosed as asymptomatic. Methods A total of 54 HTLV-1-infected patients were evaluated, 35 asymptomatic and 19 with minor neurological alterations (evaluated by a neurologist); 25 HTLV-1-seronegative individuals served as controls. The instruments used were: Beck’s Depression Inventory, Lawton’s Daily Life Activity Scale, and a complete neuropsychological battery. The application of these evaluation instruments was performed blindly, with the evaluator neuropsychologist not knowing the clinical condition of the patient. Results Most of the participants in this cohort, including seronegative controls, were female (n = 57, 72.21%), their mean age was 52.34 years (SD = 14.29) and their average schooling was 9.70 years (SD = 4.11). Discussion Participants classified with IMS had lower gross scores when compared with both the patients classified as asymptomatic and with the control group, and when tested for auditory episodic memory of immediate (p < 0.01), and late (p = 0.01), recall. Conclusion Patients with IMS presented with memory impairment when compared with asymptomatic patients and seronegative individuals; this is one of the symptoms that aids in the classification of the syndrome.

“…Thus, a negative IG value represents a pathological ability to inhibit interference, where a lower score means greater difficulty in inhibiting interference. Six articles (Troyer et al, 2006;Bayard et al, 2011;Campanholo et al, 2014;Bezdicek et al, 2015;Hankee et al, 2016;Tremblay et al, 2016) adopted the Victoria Stroop Test. In this version, three conditions are assessed: the C and the CW correspond to the equivalent conditions of the original version of the test (Stroop, 1935), while the W condition includes common words which do not refer to colors.…”

Stroop Color and Word Test

The Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) is a neuropsychological test extensively used to assess the ability to inhibit cognitive interference that occurs when the processing of a specific stimulus feature impedes the simultaneous processing of a second stimulus attribute, well-known as the Stroop Effect. The aim of the present work is to verify the theoretical adequacy of the various scoring methods used to measure the Stroop effect. We present a systematic review of studies that have provided normative data for the SCWT. We referred to both electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) and citations. Our findings show that while several scoring methods have been reported in literature, none of the reviewed methods enables us to fully assess the Stroop effect. Furthermore, we discuss several normative scoring methods from the Italian panorama as reported in literature. We claim for an alternative scoring method which takes into consideration both speed and accuracy of the response. Finally, we underline the importance of assessing the performance in all Stroop Test conditions (word reading, color naming, named color-word).

“…Right after answering the experimental questions, we have included a distracter activity. It was composed by the Stroop Test (Campanholo et al, 2014) to clear the contents from working memory to minimize individual differences in working memory capacity (Kelton & Pennington., 2012). Individuals were asked to select which color (blue, brown, green and pink) the color word was written on as fast as they could.…”

Peço a 'licença poética' em me alongar nessa seção de agradecimentos. Mais do que o crescimento na pesquisa e na docência, o doutorado me proporcionou experiências indescritíveis de aprendizagem e amadurecimento, possíveis apenas a partir do convívio com pessoas tão maravilhosas quanto as citadas abaixo. O mínimo que eu poderia fazer é deixar esse reconhecimento listado nessa seção; sei que o risco de acabar esquecendo de alguém é alto (afinal, foram quatro anos), mas tal condição não pode ser impeditiva da tentativa. Primeiramente, quero agradecer à minha família: sem vocês, eu não teria chegado onde cheguei. Aos meus pais e irmã, 'Dona Lú', 'Seu Walter' e Dani, muito obrigada por todo o amor, bagagem, exemplo, apoio e, principalmente, acreditarem em mim e no meu potencial em todos os momentos (principalmente naqueles em que nem eu acreditava). Tia Cibeli, Gui e Nessa, e Gu, obrigada por compreenderem minhas ausências nesses 11 anos de USP, comemorarem as vitórias, me ouvirem nos momentos mais difíceis e, claro, pela zoeira. Aos meus orientadores, Lucas Barros e Altay de Souza: antes de tudo, o meu maior obrigada a vocês é pelo aceite em me orientar. Eu não poderia ter tido dois orientadores melhores para me acompanhar durante esse processo de doutoramento. Agradeço imensamente a vocês pelas conversas, ensinamentos, pingas, cocadinhas, cafés, almoços, contribuições, feedbacks, comemorações em conjunto e, ainda mais, por me aguentarem nos momentos de 'neurociência' e me estimularem a dar o melhor de mim. Ao '11A', por refutarem (com uma significância estatística a 1% e obedecendo ao sinal esperado) a hipótese do Criolo e provarem que, sim, existe amor em SP-e não é pouco. Elise Zaro e Verônica Santana: vocês são a personificação do termo 'sororidade'. Desde os abraços de 'vai dar tudo certo', as conversas políticas/científicas, até os momentos de zoeira louca/desvairada, foi (e é) um privilégio sem fim morar e dividir o viver com vocês! Cláudio Zaro: desde 2013, é muita parceria, conversas experimentais, bullying, amizade e sorvetes-e espero que seja assim sempre! Aproveito para agradecer também à família Soerger Zaro (Maria e Ane) pelo carinho. Simone Fiório e Marília Nascimento: as capixabas mais queridas dessa vida, muito obrigada pela amizade! Aos amigos da turma do PPGCC 2014: nas palavras do Coldplay, ninguém disse que seria fácil, mas também ninguém disse que seria tão difícil. Depois de quatro anos, 98 créditos e duas qualificações, conseguimos! Ludmila Melo, companheira de espumante e de sertanejo 'sofrência', obrigada por ser minha irmã mineiro-brasiliense nessa terra da garoa. As irmãs de séries temporais: Samantha Telles-muito obrigada pela parceria desde da graduação até doutorado: nas risadas, pesquisas, disciplinas e mexicanos, 'somo nozes'!-e Jeíce Catrinemuito obrigada pelo ombro, força, torcida e pelas melhores histórias. Daniel Mucci, pela amizade, zoeira e parceria de estudos. Franciele Beck, muito obrigada por ser essa amiga tão querida mesmo à distância.
