Leucomalácia periventricular e diplegia espástica: implicações nas habilidades psicolingüísticas

Abstract

the children with D-CP and with suggestive signs of PVL presented deficits in the psycholinguistics abilities, justifying the need of additional studies in this area in order to investigate the development of these abilities.

Comparação das habilidades auditivas e visuais em paralíticos cerebrais diplégicos

“…The consequence of this association can interfere with the oculomotor coordination, complex visual cognitive functions, showing a close relation between the degree of motor impairment and the extent of PVL [9][10][11] . Studies have shown that presence of epilepsy, learning difficulties and/or vision impairment correlate with the severity of motor impairment 6,12,13 .…”

“…Studies have shown the relation between PVL and losses in processing visual and auditory information [8][9][10][11]14,15 .…”

“…Although individuals with D-CP form a heterogeneous group regarding performance of skills, the nature of perceptual deficits and the impact on the lives of these individuals require further understanding 7,[9][10][11]15,16,19,20 .…”

“…Studies involving memory in D-CP report these individuals tend to have losses 7,11,15 and the incidence of visuoperceptive, visuospatial and visuoconstructive changes is high [5][6][7][8]11,12,15 , which may interfere with the storage of information.…”

“…A study focusing on the processing of auditory information in D-CP individuals demonstrated they tend to fail in tests of auditory function involving location and lateralization of sounds, discrimination, analysis and synthesis, among others 11 , also reflecting in psycholinguistic processes. Studies focusing on the visual skills demonstrated that visuospatial, visuoperceptive and visuoconstructive deficits may be present, interfering with the analytical capacity of visual stimuli and their integration 6,8,9,17,19,20 .…”
