“…The DS child first understands facial and language expressions based on the physical context in which communication takes place 10 . The use of verbal language can begin in several ways, such as in words and phrases, and emerges from the communicative intentions of the speaker.…”

Objective: to analyze the contributions of speech-language therapy to the language development of children with Down syndrome (DS). Methods: eleven children with DS participated in the research. The children were between zero and five years of age, of both genders and attending a university extension project involving eight therapy sessions following stimulation guidelines. Children were evaluated before and after speech-language stimulation. The stimulation guidelines were based on the following aspects of language development: coordination of sensorimotor schema, constitution of object permanence, gestural/body imitation, imitation of utterances, deferred imitation and use of symbolic schema, communicative intent, receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary: words and phrases. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the institution. Data were analyzed quantitatively. Results: there were significant differences in the pre-and post-speech-language intervention in the following skills parameters: gestural/body imitation, imitation of utterances, deferred imitation and use of symbolic schema, communicative intent and receptive vocabulary. Conclusion: early stimulation of linguistic and cognitive aspects is important in the development of children with DS, as evidenced by the immediate development of speech-language skills in children after the intervention.

“…A primeira explicação plausível para este resultado é o próprio instrumento utilizado para a investigação proposta. O TEPEF já havia sido utilizado anteriormente em pesquisas com diferentes grupos clínicos, tendo encontrado significativas diferenças na habilidade de reconhecer expressões emocionais entre idosos com Alzheimer (Ladislau et al, 2015) e Síndrome de Down (Santana et al, 2014). Entretanto, em ambos os casos citados, os participantes envolvidos nas pesquisas apresentavam alterações do funcionamento cognitivo, o que não aconteceu na presente pesquisa.…”

“…Para tanto, utilizou-se o software TEPEF (Ladislau, 2010;Ladislau et al, 2015). Tal software foi desenvolvido e anteriormente utilizado em pacientes portadores da doença de Alzheimer (Ladislau et al, 2015) e Síndrome de Down (Santana, de Souza, & Feitosa, 2014), contendo 35 expressões faciais, distribuídas entre as emoções básicas consideradas universais (alegria, tristeza, raiva, surpresa, nojo, medo). Um dos estímulos expressando nojo foi excluído em decorrência de apresentar menor qualidade na padronização em relação ao restante, restando, assim, seis estímulos para cada emoção, exceto nojo que contém cinco estímulos.…”

RESUMO -Entre os sintomas não motores da doença de Parkinson, dificuldades no reconhecimento de expressões faciais emocionais vêm sendo amplamente discutidas, pois as áreas cerebrais relacionadas a tal habilidade podem estar afetadas na doença. Este estudo investigou, em idosos, o reconhecimento das seis expressões emocionais faciais consideradas universais por meio do instrumento Teste de Percepção Emocional de Faces, em que participantes executam uma tarefa de reconhecimento de expressões emocionais faciais. Participaram 41 indivíduos com idade média de 64,9 anos, 27 homens e 14 mulheres. Não foi observada significativa dificuldade no reconhecimento de nenhuma das expressões emocionais por parte dos parkinsonianos. Tal resultado pode indicar a necessidade do desenvolvimento de instrumentos e técnicas mais adequadas para esse tipo de investigação na população brasileira.Palavras-chave: doença de Parkinson, expressões faciais, emoção, reconhecimento.ABSTRACT -Among the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, impairment in the recognition of emotional facial expressions has been widely discussed, as the disease may affect brain areas related to this skill. The current study has investigated, among elderly people, the recognition of the six emotional face expressions considered universal using the instrument Test of Emotional Perception of Faces, where participants performed an emotional facial recognition task. Forty-one participants with an average age of 64.9 years were enrolled to this study, 27 men and 14 women. No significant impairment in the recognition of emotional face expression was observed among the parkinsonians. This result may indicate the need to develop more adequate tools and techniques able to investigate this issue in the Brazilian population.

“…Los estudios que se centran en el mundo emocional en SD han demostrado la existencia de problemas en aspectos relacionados con componentes de la RE (Moore, Conners y Barth, 2014;Pochon y Declercq, 2013;Pochon y Declercq, 2014;Pochon et al, 2017;Santana, De Souza y Feitosa, 2014), como el reconocimiento facial de expresiones emocionales como el miedo o la sorpresa (Moore et al, 2014;Pochon y Declercq, 2014;Williams, Wishart, Pitcairn y Willis, 2005;Wishart, Cebula, Willis y Pitcairn, 2007). La importancia de estos descubrimientos recae en la necesidad de tener en cuenta estas dificultades a la hora de desarrollar intervenciones.…”

Resumen: Introducción. Diferentes estudios muestran tasas elevadas de trastornos psicopatológicos, como ansiedad o depresión, en adultos con síndrome de Down (SD). Además, algunas variables, como las funciones ejecutivas (FE) y la regulación emocional (RE), elementos esenciales en la conducta adaptativa, presentan déficits en estas personas. Método. Este estudio se propuso investigar la influencia de las FE y la RE en el desarrollo de la sintomatología internalizante en personas adultas con SD. Se emplearon el DEX, el ERC y el PIMRA-II con una muestra de 40 adultos para determinar si las dificultades en las funciones ejecutivas y en la regulación emocional se relacionan con la aparición de síntomas internalizados en esta población. Resultados. Los resultados muestran la asociación entre las FE, la RE y la depresión y la ansiedad. Asimismo, existe relación entre la sintomatología internalizada y aspectos vitales de las personas, como la muerte de un familiar. Discusión. Se debe tener en consideración la intervención en la RE y en las FE para prevenir la aparición de síntomas internalizados y el desarrollo de trastornos emocionales. Se necesita mayor investigación para intervenir en ambas capacidades de manera más comprensiva, sobre todo en lo referente a la regulación emocional. el bienestar emocional de los adultos con síndrome de down: una mirada transdiagnóstica maría álvarez-couto, gema p. sáez-suanes y maría d'orey roquete Siglo Cero, vol. 50 (4), n.º 272, 2019, octubre-diciembre, pp. 7-21 -8 -Palabras clave: funciones ejecutivas; regulación emocional; síndrome de Down; sintomatología internalizada. © Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca / CC BY-NC-NDAbstract: Introduction. Different studies show high rates of psychopathological disorders, such as anxiety or depression, in adults with Down syndrome (DS). In addition, some variables such as executive functions (EF) and emotion regulation (ER), essential elements in adaptive behavior, present deficits in these people. Method. This study aimed to investigate the influence of EF and ER on the development of internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety) in adults DS. DEX, ERC and PIMRA-II questionnaires were used with a sample of 40 adults to determine whether difficulties in executive functions and emotional regulation are related to the appearance of internalized symptoms in this population. Results. Results show the association between EF, ER and depression and anxiety. Likewise, there is a relation between internalizing symptomatology and life events such as the death of a familiar. Discussion. Intervention in ER and EF should be considered to prevent the appearance of internalized symptoms and the development of emotional disturbances. More research is needed to intervene in both capacities in a more comprehensive way, especially with regard to emotion regulation.
