With aging, several cognitive skills inevitably decline. However, cognitive losses do not occur homogenously in all elderly people, differing in number and severity of affected cognitive functions. These differences could be exacerbated by socioeconomic differences in a developing country like Brazil.Objectivesto characterize the cognitive functioning of healthy elderly subjects whose socioeconomic conditions differ to those of other studies.Methods60 elderly subjects with a mean age of 68 years, 43 women and 17 men, and mean schooling of 7.1 years, were studied. The cognitive function of this group was assessed using the following neuropsychological tests: Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS), Stroop Test, Verbal Fluency, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Rey Complex Figure, Vocabulary – Wais – III, Logical Memory (WMS-R), Visual Reproduction (WMS-R), and Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). The neuropsychological data were submitted to Multivariate cluster analysis using SAS - Proc Cluster software and the complete binding hierarchical method.ResultsVariability was found allowing classification of the studied group into 4 clusters of individuals who had above-average (C1), average (C3 and C4) and below average (C2) performance. Schooling determined the results obtained, with less educated subjects showing poorer performance than higher-educated subjects.ConclusionsSignificant differences in the process of cognitive aging were detected on neuropsychological tests in this group of healthy elderly from the developing country of Brazil, where socioeconomic differences may exacerbate cognitive differences among older adults.

“…Além disso, é possível encontrar pesquisas avaliando características psicológicas que vão além das tradicionais correlações entre construtos semelhantes, incluindo aspectos de vida importantes para o trabalho do psicólogo. Por exemplo, existem estudos com as Pirâmides Coloridas de Pfister para avaliação de alcoolismo (Villemor-Amaral, Silva, & Primi, 2003), compulsão alimentar (Machado, Zilberstein, Cecconello, & Monteiro, 2008), depressão (Villemor-Amaral, Primi, e cols., 2004, esquizofrenia (Villemor-Amaral e cols., 2005), estresse ocupacional de policiais militares (Aguiar, 2007), funções executivas em idosos (Formighieri, 2007), ideação suicida (Patutti, 2004), irritabilidade e agressividade em motoristas (Tawamoto & Capitão, 2010), organização cognitiva de crianças surdas (Cardoso & Capitão, 2007), toxicomania (Franco & Villemor-Amaral, 2012), transtorno dissociativo de identidade (Faria, 2008), transtorno do pânico , entre outros.…”

O objetivo do presente estudo foi esclarecer mal entendidos comumente encontrados no ensino de técnicas projetivas. Foram desenvolvidos três temas: o mito da exclusividade da psicanálise sobre esses instrumentos, a reavaliação da nomenclatura das técnicas e o mito da ausência de validade. Encontrou-se que há publicações que dão suporte à utilização dessas técnicas por psicólogos de diversas abordagens, exemplificando com um teste desenvolvido pelo behaviorista Skinner. A possibilidade de uma nova terminologia, questionada por outros pesquisadores, foi apresentada. Além disso, a revisão concluiu que as técnicas demonstram cientificidade em diversos contextos da Psicologia.
