“…The secondary alterations that appear after a brain injury usually accompany the primary neuropsychological alterations and respond to the clinical and topographical nature of the primary injury [1]. However, apart from the topographical location of the primary damage and its clinical features, in every brain injury, together with the primary syndrome and concomitant with the abovementioned pattern of secondary alterations, a pattern of secondary alterations of executive functions is established [4] [5].…”

“…However, apart from the topographical location of the primary damage and its clinical features, in every brain injury, together with the primary syndrome and concomitant with the abovementioned pattern of secondary alterations, a pattern of secondary alterations of executive functions is established [4] [5]. As it is, a fact that every brain injury results in secondary alterations that may involve the alert system, the orientation system toward environmental stimuli of the Attention System, and the components and mechanisms of executive functions [1] [6] [7].…”

“…This implies increased consumption of attentional resources to regulate behavior [1] [2] [3] [4] [6] and a reduction of the Cognitive System resource fund. In addition to aggravating the primary symptoms, this produces alteration of executive functions, which are responsible for controlling the Cognitive System resource fund.…”

Introduction. Secondary alterations of executive functions occur in brain injuries together with the primary neuropsychological symptoms, irrespective of the location of the damage and the affected neural networks. Such secondary alterations of executive functions in the presence of language alterations, which is the most frequent primary neuropsychological alteration, in addition to exacerbating the linguistic processing deficit, may be associated to multiple factors inherent to the brain injury or the injured patient. Purpose. To describe the secondary neuropsychological alterations of executive functions in elderly patients with low education levels with acquired language disorders and determine general factors of the injury and of the injured patient (etiology, location, time of recovery from the injury, age, education level), associated to such secondary alterations of the Attentional Control System. Patients and Methods. The study was conducted on 68 elderly patients with a low education level with language acquired disorders, of both sexes, ranging between 60 and 80 years of age. The executive functions explored included cognitive flexibility, impulsivity control and inhibition of irrelevant automatisms, with the Trail Making Test, the Porteus Maze Test and series of loops. Statistical processing involved a Distribution of Frequencies and Multiple Ordinal Regression. Results and Conclusions. The statistical analysis found secondary neuropsychological alterations of the executive functioning in the elderly patients with language disorders of the study that are associated to the location and the time of recovery from the injury and are irrespective of age, education level and etiology of the injury.

ResumenEl VIH provoca alteraciones de la flexibilidad mental, cuyo carácter devastador aumenta cuanto más temprano el individuo haya sido contagiado. Por ello, en este artículo de investigación científica, se analiza comparativamente la ejecución en tests de flexibilidad mental de 30 sujetos positivos al VIH y 30 sujetos normales, con edades de 12 a 14 años. Como pruebas de flexibilidad mental se utilizaron el Trail Making Test y el Test de Series Gráficas Alternantes. Para el análisis de datos, se utilizaron pruebas de estadística descriptiva y la prueba T de Student. Los resultados muestran que en ambos test, los sujetos seropositivos rinden sobre lo patológico, en tanto los sanos rinden normal, al margen de la variabilidad interindividual.
