Evidence of criterion validity for the Benton Visual Retention Test: Comparison between older adults with and without a possible diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract: The present study sought to provide evidence of criterion validity for the Benton Visual Retention Test by making comparisons between older adults with and without a possible diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The control group was composed of 50 older adults, and the clinical group was composed by 16 subjects. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed, including c 2 test, F and Wald statistics, t-test, analyses of covariance with a = .05, and effect size calculations. We used a sociodemographic dat… Show more

“…Os resultados deste estudo forneceram novas evidências de validade do BVRT em amostras brasileiras (Salles et al, 2016;Zanini et al, 2012;Zanini et al, 2014) através de um método misto de investigação, no qual foi possível detectar déficits no desempenho pós-AVC. Esses déficits foram observados na comparação de grupos principalmente nas habilidades visuoconstrutivas, Administração C (Cópia) do BVRT, e na comparação de série de casos na memória visual, Administração A (Memória).…”

“…Durante sua realização, além de perceber as características visuoespaciais dos estímulos, a pessoa deve armazenar as figuras na memória visual de curto prazo, tarefa que possivelmente exige do componente visuoespacial da memória de trabalho (Baddeley, Allen, & Hitch, 2011). Ainda, é plausível que a alça fonológica e o buffer episódico sejam recrutados, uma vez que é necessária a integração de informações semânticas e visuoespaciais já que muitos dos estímulos possuem figuras facilmente nomeáveis (Zanini et al, 2014).…”

“…Exclusion criteria for the healthy group were: (a) Presence of neurological, psychiatric, or medical diseases, (b) lower IQ, (c) more than one failure in school, (d) presence of depressive symptoms, (e) use of benzodiazepines or ilicit psychoactive substances, (f) signs of cognitive impairment. Clinical groups were organized as follows: 58 children and adolescents diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (Duarte Junior, 2012), 45 children diagnosed with anxiety disorder (AD) (Guarnieri, 2014), nine elders with possible Alzheimer's dementia diagnosis (Zanini et al, 2014), and 25 adults and elderly patients with left or right hemispheric stroke (Zortea et al, 2019). Thus, the study included participants from four age groups: Children (n = 256; 49.2% female), adolescents (n = 101; 67.8% female), adults (n = 131; 60% female) and elderly (n = 88; 75% female).…”

“…This analysis enables the testing of complex theoretical models and multiple relationships between variables, while most of the studies conducted so far used correlational methods and comparison groups to evaluate the independent effects of these variables (e.g., Lima, 2014;Souza et al, 2012). In addition to researches conducted with the BVRT in Brazilian samples (Salles et al, 2016;Segabinazi et al, 2013;Zanini et al, 2014) this study contributes to investigate the relationships between different variables on performance in visual memory and visuoconstructive abilities.…”
