“…The failed integration of the elements present in the stimulus must have led the subjects to describe each object in the drawing in detail, without correlating them to form a story. The main components of a target figure are directly related to the generating of inferences (Ribeiro & Radanovic, 2014 ). Thus, if the individuals had fewer information units regarding the scene from the outset, they likely made fewer visual inferences, explaining the poorer narrative discourse produced.…”

Background The influence of education on cognition has been extensively researched, particularly in countries with high levels of illiteracy. However, the impact of low education in all cognitive functions appears to differ. Regarding to language, the effects of education on many linguistic tasks—supported by different processing—remain unclear. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether oral language task performance differs among individuals with no formal and low-educated subjects, as measured by the Brazilian Montreal-Toulouse Language Assessment Battery (MTL-BR). This is the only language battery available for use in Brazil, but lacks normative data for illiterate individuals. The secondary objective was to gather data for use as clinical parameters in assessing persons with aphasia (PWA) not exposed to a formal education. Methods A total of 30 healthy illiterate individuals aged 34–60 years were assessed. All participants underwent the MTL-BR Battery, excluding its written communication tasks. The data obtained in the present study were compared against results of a previous investigation of individuals with 1–4 years of education evaluated using the same MTL-BR instrument. Results Statistically significant differences in performance were found between non-formal education and the low-educated (2–4 years) groups on the tasks Auditory Comprehension, Repetition, Orthographic/Phonological Fluency, Number dictation, Reading of numbers and also on simple numerical calculations. Conclusion The study results showed that individuals with no formal education/illiterate had worse performance than low-education individuals on some of the language tasks of the MTL-Br Battery, suggesting that each year of education impacts cognitive-language performance. Also, data were obtained which can serve as a guide for PWA not exposed to a formal education.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o reconhecimento das figuras e a familiaridade dos contextos do Sentence Production Program for Aphasia (SPPA), para obter dados sobre a possibilidade de uso para a língua portuguesa e/ou da necessidade de sua adaptação. Método Inicialmente, foi realizada a tradução dos estímulos por falantes do inglês e, em seguida, a retrotradução para ajustes sem a alteração das estruturas sintáticas das frases. O material foi então submetido para a análise de 39 indivíduos adultos de alta escolaridade. Na primeira fase do estudo, os adultos deveriam criar uma frase de acordo com cada figura apresentada. Na fase seguinte do estudo, os participantes foram expostos às frases originais associadas aos seus respectivos contextos. Os participantes receberam uma folha de registro das respostas com numeração segundo as figuras e julgaram a familiaridade dos contextos a partir de uma escala analógica de 0 a 10. Resultados Observou-se que a média geral de concordância dos estímulos com as respostas para as figuras do SPPA foi de 35,5%. Em relação à familiaridade dos contextos com as figuras, essa foi maior para as cenas relativas às frases com estrutura sintática mais usadas em português. Conclusão Pelo fato de os estímulos terem apresentado baixo grau de reconhecimento, adaptações serão necessárias para que o programa possa vir a ser utilizado na população brasileira. O estudo também permitiu identificar quais as figuras que necessitam de adaptação antes de serem usadas para a reabilitação de pacientes agramáticos no Brasil.

After obtaining a sample of published, peer-reviewed articles from journals with high and low impact factors in social, cognitive, neuro-, developmental, and clinical psychology, we used a priori equations recently derived by Trafimow (Educational and Psychological Measurement, 77, 831-854, 2017; Trafimow & MacDonald in Educational and Psychological Measurement, 77, 204-219, 2017) to compute the articles' median levels of precision. Our findings indicate that developmental research performs best with respect to precision, whereas cognitive research performs the worst; however, none of the psychology subfields excelled. In addition, we found important differences in precision between journals in the upper versus lower echelons with respect to impact factors in cognitive, neuro-, and clinical psychology, whereas the difference was dramatically attenuated for social and developmental psychology. Implications are discussed.
