“…Regarding age and education, Steibel et al (2016) investigated the effect of these variables in the memorization of items such as names, pictures and stories using the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (Wilson et al, 1985). Their participants were divided according to age (60-69, 70-79 and 80 or more years old), and to education level (less than 8 years or 8 years of more of formal education).…”

Background A growing body of literature has demonstrated the importance of discourse assessment in patients who suffered from brain injury, both in the left and right hemispheres, as discourse represents a key component of functional communication. However, little is known about the relationship between gray matter density and macrolinguistic processing. Purpose This study aimed to investigate this relationship in a group of participants with middle–low to low socioeconomic status. Method Twenty adults with unilateral left hemisphere ( n = 10) or right hemisphere ( n = 10) chronic ischemic stroke and 10 matched (age, education, and socioeconomic status) healthy controls produced three oral narratives based on sequential scenes. Voxel-based morphometry analysis was conducted using structural magnetic resonance imaging. Results Compared to healthy controls, the left hemisphere group showed cohesion impairments, whereas the right hemisphere group showed impairments in coherence and in producing macropropositions. Cohesion positively correlated with gray matter density in the right primary sensory area (PSA)/precentral gyrus and the pars opercularis. Coherence, narrativity, and index of lexical informativeness were positively associated with the left PSA/insula and the superior temporal gyrus. Macropropositions were mostly related to the left PSA/insula and superior temporal gyrus, left cingulate, and right primary motor area/insula. Discussion Overall, the present results suggest that both hemispheres are implicated in macrolinguistic processes in narrative discourse. Further studies including larger samples and with various socioeconomic status should be conducted. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.14347550

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a avaliação neuropsicológica de idosos em investigação diagnóstica para quadros demenciais na cidade de Uberaba, MG. Foram avaliados 35 idosos, com média de idades de 72,57 anos, sendo a maior parte do sexo feminino e baixa escolaridade. Utilizou-se os testes: Mini-Exame do Estado Mental, Teste do Relógio, Caminhada Cronometrada, Nove Pinos, Bateria CERAD e questionário complementar. Os resultados dos testes foi dicotomizada entre "normal" e "déficit". Foram conduzidas análises descritivas e correlacionais. Os resultados mostraram capacidade preservada de memória imediata e de reconhecimento, fluência verbal, preensão e controle dos membros superiores para a maioria dos avaliados. Déficits foram identificados quanto a orientação têmporo-espacial, memória de longo prazo, praxias, nomeação, habilidades visuoespaciais e de planejamento e controle dos membros inferiores. Houve associação entre desempenhos em diferentes testes. A pesquisa mostrou relevância da avaliação neuropsicológica integrada à investigação de quadros demenciais. Descritores: Idoso; Neuropsicologia; Função executiva; Avaliação da deficiência.The objective of this study was to perform a neuropsychological evaluation of elderly people undergoing diagnostic investigation for dementia in the city of Uberaba/MG, Brazil. Thirty-five elderly individuals, with a mean age of 72.57 years, were studied. Most were females and with low schooling. The tests were: Mini-Mental State Examination, Clock-Drawing Test, Timed Walking Test, Nine-Hole Peg Test, CERAD Battery and a complementary questionnaire. The test results were dichotomized between "normal" and "deficit". Descriptive and correlational analyzes were conducted. The results showed preserved ability of immediate memory and memory, verbal fluency, grip and control of the upper limbs for the majority of the evaluated participants. Deficits were identified regarding temporal and spatial orientation, long-term memory, praxis, naming, visuospatial and planning skills, and control of the lower limbs. There was an association between performance in different tests. The research showed the relevance of the neuropsychological evaluation integrated to the investigation of demential pictures.

As people age, cognitive abilities may decline resulting in serious disabilities. Neuropsychological instruments can provide information on the cognitive state of older adults. Researchers worldwide have been using digital cognitive tests to assess cognitive domains.ObjectiveTo determine whether educational status affects the performance of older adults on digital cognitive tasks.MethodsA systematic review of articles in English, Portuguese, or Spanish published in the last 5 years was conducted. The databases searched were SCOPUS, PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo and PsychInfo. The PRISMA method was used.ResultsA total of 7,089 articles were initially retrieved. After search and exclusion with justification, seven articles were selected for further review.ConclusionThe findings revealed that researchers using digital tasks generally employed paper-based tests to compare results. Also, no association between years of education and test performance was found. Finally, a dearth of studies using digital tests published by Brazilian researchers was evident.
