“…However, when the decline in decision making ability with advancing age is taken into account (Bakos et al 2008), the reduced expenditure in gambling does not automatically mean that older gamblers would remain low-risk social gamblers. Older gamblers are more likely to play the familiar games and rely on word-of-mouth for information regarding gambling games and promotions (Moufakkir 2006).…”

The meanings of gambling among senior gamblers in Hong Kong were investigated using semi-structured interviews based on an ethnographic approach. 18 senior gamblers (10 men; 8 women) over the age of 55 years were asked to describe their childhood, adolescent and early adult experience and developmental history of gambling and gambling trajectories. They also completed the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) of the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. Most senior gamblers (n = 15) were non-problem gamblers, except 3 participants who were classified as pathological gamblers. The majority of the senior gamblers began their lifelong gambling career when they were young. Their family members often introduced the participants to gambling. Some participants reported that an early big win was a focal memorable experience in their early gambling history. Women played mahjong most frequently, whereas men gambled on horse races and sports betting such as football lotteries. The main motivation of gambling for older adult women was socialisation with friends, whereas older adult men were motivated to gamble because of potential financial gain. To senior women, games of mahjong with friends have provided an oasis and a comfort zone, within which they can find peace and comfort away from hustles of daily life. Cultural conditions in Hong Kong and their link to senior gambling have been also discussed.

“…A condição de DT é considerada um comportamento motor complexo, pois depende da habilidade de dividir a atenção entre mais de uma tarefa ao mesmo tempo, indicando um alto poder de processamento do sistema nervoso. Neste contexto, a FE agiria coordenando a "distribuição" da atenção para o desempenho de diferentes tarefas, permitindo com que ocorra a divisão da atenção entre elas quando necessário e minimizando a interferência gerada (MCCULLOCH et al 2010;MCKINLAY et al, 2009;HAUSDORFF;GILADI, 2008;NEWMAN;KELLER;JUST, 2007;BLOEM et al, 2001 PRAKASH et al, 2009;BAKOS et, al., 2008;BOCK, 2008;COPPIN et al, 2006;HUXHOLD et al, 2006).

AGRADECIMENTOSA Profa. Dra. Maria Elisa, que acompanho e admiro desde a graduação, pela orientação e confiança.A toda minha família, pelo constante incentivo, apoio e suporte.Ao meu marido José Eduardo Pompeu, meu maior incentivador, companheiro e exemplo profissional.A minha filha Bianca, que tantas vezes dormiu ao meu lado enquanto eu trabalhava no computador sem nunca reclamar.A todos meus colegas de trabalho, em especial a Alessandra Palazzin pela amizade e conforto nos momentos mais difíceis.A todos os participantes deste estudo.Palavras Chave: atenção, desempenho motor, idosos, doença de Parkinson. ABSTRACT POMPEU, SMAA. (2013). Preparation and application of attention division test in functional tasks. Dissertação de Mestrado, Instituto de Psicologia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo. The aim of this study was to develop a testing division of tasks involving attention functional gait, postural control static and dynamic control manual and apply this test in young adults, seniors and individuals with PD in early and moderate stage of the disease. This is a cross-sectional study in Associação Brasil Parkinson, São Paulo. Study participants were 20 young adults, 17 seniors and 47 individuals diagnosed with PD, 16 in stage I in the scale of Hoehn Yahr staging, 15 in stage II, 16 stage III. The performance of 84 participants was observed during the execution of four functional tasks named: gait, postural control, dynamic, static postural control and manual control.We also analyzed the performance of eight specific tasks, four motor and four cognitive characteristics. The twelve tasks, and specific functional, were evaluated when performed alone (called simple task (ST), and also in dual task, when a functional task was performed simultaneously with a specific motor task (dual motor task (DMT) and also associated with a specific cognitive task (dual cognitive task (DCT). Under the conditions of dual task performance of both tasks was measured. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test for checking possible performance differences between young and old, elderly and PD patients, and between patients in different stages of PD. Comparing young and old, the four functional tasks proposals were sensitive to identify differences associated with aging, particularly walking and manual control task. Among elderly and individuals with PD, the most sensitive task was to identify differences in manual control, where individuals with PD showed poorer performance in all conditions. Comparing individuals with DP in stage I, II and III was the least sensitive to manual control, which did not identify losses from the early stages of the disease (I and II). Aiming to verify the impact of the global association task, we analyzed the sum of losses of the division of attention to the task and the task specific functional motor and cognitive, called the total cost of motor and cognitive total cost. observed different patterns of results: the combination of static postural control task...

“…Ésta parece estar asociada a la regulación celular de las mitocondrias, a la plasticidad cerebral y al flujo sanguíneo, acarreando distintos cambios en las redes neuronales de diversas localizaciones cerebrales, aunque no ocurra a nivel cerebral de la misma forma y tiempo (Duque-Parra, 2003;Fjell y Wallhovd, 2010;Picard et al, 2010;Sequeira, 2010). En este sentido, estos cambios afectan fundamentalmente a los sistemas dopaminergicos y colinérgicos, asociados a los cambios observados en la región pre-frontal, particularmente la porción dorsolateral, en el proceso de envejecimiento (Bakos et al, 2008;MacPherson et al, 2002;Moraes et al, 2010).…”

“…Una de las funciones que se desarrolla en etapas más tardías de la infancia, en torno a los 6/8 años de edad, son las funciones ejecutivas, culminando su desarrollo en el inicio de la edad adulta, en torno a los 18/20 años de edad (Ferro y Pimentel, 2006). Sin embargo, con el trascurso de los años se va produciendo un envejecimiento biológico y funcional general que afecta a los lóbulos frontales y al área prefrontal, y consecuentemente a las funciones ejecutivas que son, sin embargo, las primeras a manifestar un declive asociado al envejecimiento neurobiológico (Bakos et al, 2008;MacPherson, Philipps y Sala, 2002;Moraes et al, 2010).…”
