“…There is only one pair of studies on this paradigm in portuguese speakers and none of them with children 11,21 . Thus, this study aimed to describe the performance of 119 children 7-10 years old on a shortened version of this paradigm, and also to compare these data with other studies with children from other countries 17,20 .…”

“…In its different versions, the auditory verbal learning paradigm, is one of the most widely used learning and memory assessment procedures. With its help, memory deficits have been detected in a great variety of disorders [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] , including during infanthood [12][13][14][15][16] . Also, it has been showing extremely robust in terms of its psychometric qualities 6 and of the internal consistency of the results pattern, despite of variations in the procedure 17,18 .…”

“…A search of the Brazilian literature showed that this paradigm has not been used in this country as it has been worldwide. Only two studies were found, one of them about the effects of aging on memory 11 and the other one about the performance of healthy brazilian adults, by Malloy-Diniz and colleagues 21 . However, there is no study about the performance of normal Brazilian children on this paradigm.…”

-The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning paradigm is worldwide used in clinical and research settings. There is consensus about its psychometric robustessness and that its various scores provide relevant information about different aspects of memory and learning. However, there are only a few studies in Brazil employing this paradigm and none of them with children. This paper describes the performance of 119 Brazilian children in a version of Rey´s paradigm. The correlations between scores showed the internal consistency of this version. Also, the pattern of results observed was very similar to that observed in foreign studies with adults and children. There was correlation between age in months and recall scores, showing that age affects the rhythm of learning. These results were discussed based on the information processing theory.KEY WORDS: memory, child, Rey auditory verbal learning, cognitive science, neuropsychology. desempenho de crianças brasileiras no paradigma de aprendizagem auditivo-verbal de reyResumo -O paradigma de aprendizagem auditivo-verbal de Rey é utilizado em todo o mundo, tanto em pesquisa quanto na clínica. Há consenso sobre sua robustez psicométrica e de que seus vários escores fornecem informações relevantes sobre diferentes aspectos da memória e da aprendizagem. No entanto, existem apenas alguns poucos estudos no Brasil envolvendo este paradigma e nenhum deles com crianças. Este artigo descreve o desempenho de 119 crianças brasileiras em uma versão do paradigma de Rey. As correlações entre escores mostraram a consistência interna desta versão. Além disso, o padrão de resultados encontrado foi muito similar àquele observado em estudos estrangeiros com adultos e crianças. Verificou-se correlação entre idade em meses e os escores de evocação, mostrando que a idade afeta o ritmo de aprendizagem. Estes resultados foram discutidos a partir da teoria do processamento da informação.

“…The total score ranges from 7 to 35 points. The higher the score, the greater the intensity of complaint regarding memory, and scores ≥ 25 indicate memory impairment associated with age, allowing to classify the older adult as having "negative" complaint of memory (15,16) . In addition to this criterion, another one was established for the perception of complaint of older adults.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a queixa subjetiva de memória relacionada com a fluência verbal em idosos participantes de grupos de convivência. Método Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, quantitativo, realizado em grupos de convivência de idosos do município de Florianópolis, Estado de Santa Catarina. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista estruturada utilizando-se o Questionário de Queixas de Memória (MAC-Q) e o Teste de Fluência Verbal (TFV) por categorias semânticas animais/minuto. Para a análise descritiva inferencial, consideraram-se os dados com p < 5%. Resultados Foi encontrada a queixa de memória autodeclarada em 35,7% da amostra. Não houve associação e correlação do TFV com a percepção da memória obtida pelo MAC-Q bem como com o seu escore. A análise do TFV com os indivíduos que referiram percepção negativa de memória apresentou significância estatística. Salienta-se que foi encontrada associação significativa entre a percepção (escore do MAC-Q) e a presença da queixa de memória (referida pelos idosos em questão acrescida ao questionário). Conclusão Não houve relação entre a queixa subjetiva de memória e a fluência verbal de idosos ativos, sendo as queixas mnemônicas correlacionadas à percepção negativa da memória e ao tempo de queixa apresentada. Porém a queixa subjetiva da memória se mostrou um indicativo para aqueles indivíduos com percepção negativa da memória, sendo um aspecto que deve ser considerado na fala dos idosos ao se investigar um possível declínio cognitivo. Tais dados podem auxiliar no direcionamento das ações de políticas públicas de assistência às pessoas idosas no município, salientando-se a importância em se verificar a queixa subjetiva de memória dos idosos.

The increase in life expectancy in the Brazilian population raises questions about the preparation of the public health system in identifying elderly patients with signs of cognitive impairment. Currently, as a consequence of the long duration of preclinical phase of Alzheimer's disease, efforts of early detection have been emphasized. Clinical dementia presents an important impact on the individual's caregivers, family, society and economy. Identifying individuals who already have some cognitive impairment, despite remaining functional, as well as analyzing associated comorbidities, constitutes an opportunity to analyze possibilities for future interventions. Dementias are clinical conditions that impose a burden on the health system with its high costs, whereas the identification of individuals with cognitive impairment without dementia can aid patients and their families to plan the future and mitigate costs. This narrative revision can provide general practitioners with more information on the subject.
