“…Cognitive rehabilitation based on the relative implicit memory spare to assist the ADL Cognitive rehabilitation (CR) is composed of techniques and strategies that aim for minimizing deleterious effects originated by lesion or dysfunction of cognitive functions 77 . These functions are seen as a support for primary mental activities, e.g., memory, attention, thought, language, logic reasoning, etc.…”

-Specific neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) affect some forms of memory while leaving others relatively intact. In this review, we investigate particularities of the relationship between explicit and implicit memories in AD. It was found that implicit memory is preserved in AD, irrespective of the task used; in other words, there was not interference from explicit memory. In addition, it was verified that is possible through implicit memory compensatory strategies such as, activities of daily living (ADL) to compensate for the explicit memory deficits. In this sense, cognitive rehabilitation (CR) demonstrates reasonable results in the process of compensation of explicit memory deficits. Concluding, the decline in explicit memory suggests that both systems are functionally independent even if the other is compromised. We expect that when explicit memory system is not involved in competition with the implicit system, the final effect of learning is better, because all of the implicit memory capacity is engaged in learning and not in competition with the explicit system. Key WoRDS: activities of daily living, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive rehabilitation, implicit memory. Doença de Alzheimer e memória implícitaResumo -Distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos específicos, tais como a doença de Alzheimer (DA), podem afetar algumas formas de memória enquanto deixam outros relativamente intactos. Nesta revisão, nós investigamos particularidades da relação entre as memórias explicita e implícita na DA. Foi verificado que a memória é preservada na DA, independente da tarefa usada; ou seja, não ocorre interferência da memória explícita. Além disso, foi verificado que é possível através de estratégias compensatórias de memória implícita, tais como, atividades da vida diária (AVD) compensar os déficits da memória explícita. Neste sentido, a reabilitação cognitiva (RC) demonstra resultados razoáveis no processo de compensação dos déficits da memória explicita. Concluindo, a queda na memória explícita sugere que ambos os sistemas são funcionalmente independentes mesmo que outro esteja comprometido. esperamos que quando o sistema de memória explícita não está envolvido em competição com o sistema implícito, o efeito final de aprendizagem é melhor, porque toda a capacidade da memória implícita está engajada na aprendizagem e não na competição com o sistema explícito. PALAVRAS-ChAVe: atividades da vida diária, doença de Alzheimer, memória implícita, reabilitação cognitiva.

“…Carvalho (2013) As with any country, Brazil also has a growing older population of people with LD, including those with dementia (Abrisqueta-Gomez et al, 2004). Caldas and Bererö (2007) argue that the concept of ageing needs to be reframed especially when it comes to those with LD, since their functional decline requires particular and intensive support.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a contextual overview of learning disability (LD) in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses an historical approach, providing a critical appraisal of the key theories and treatment of people with LD from the sixteenth century to the present. Findings – Brazil has experienced a different historical trajectory in terms of treatment and practice for people with LD compared to Europe, the UK and the USA. Originality/value – Brazil is one of the most rapidly developing, globally important countries with an emerging major economy. There are opportunities now for people with LD to be included in their country’s development, yet their needs should be highlighted.
