Abstract(s)
A Memória pode ser descrita como a capacidade que os Humanos têm de obter,
armazenar e relembrar informações. Baddeley e Hitch decidiram evidenciar o papel das
funções cognitivas inerentes à Memória de Curto Prazo, surgindo assim a Memória de
Trabalho. Esta pode ser definida com um sistema cerebral que manipula e armazena
temporária e simultaneamente informações necessárias para a realização de tarefas
cognitivas complexas e é composta por quatro componentes, sendo que o componente
estudado nesta investigação é o esboço visuoespacial, que armazena e processa informações
de cariz visual e espacial. A sintomatologia de ansiedade surge perante situações em que se
perceciona a aproximação de perigo, podendo expressar-se através de sintomas de ordem
biológica, cognitiva e comportamental.
Nesta investigação, comparou-se a prevalência de sintomatologia de ansiedade em
homens e em mulheres e concluiu-se que as mulheres apresentaram níveis mais elevados
de sintomatologia de ansiedade do que os homens. Para além disto, pretendia-se perceber
se participantes com elevado nível de sintomatologia de ansiedade tinham pior desempenho
na tarefa do esboço visuoespacial, o que nesta amostra acabou por não se verificar, ou seja,
não existe uma relação significativa entre o elevado nível de sintomatologia de ansiedade e
o desempenho na tarefa.
Memory can be described as the ability that Humans have to obtain, store and recall information. Baddeley and Hitch decided to highlight the role of cognitive functions inherent to Short Term Memory, thus giving rise to Working Memory. This can be defined as a brain system that temporarily and simultaneously manipulates and stores information necessary to perform complex cognitive tasks and is composed of four components, the component studied in this investigation being the visuospatial sketch pad, which stores and processes visual and spatial information. The symptomatology of anxiety arises in situations in which the approach of danger is perceived, and may be expressed through symptoms of a biological, cognitive and behavioral order. In this investigation, the prevalence of anxiety symptoms in men and women was compared and it was concluded that women had higher levels of anxiety symptoms than med. In addition, it was intended to understand whether participants with a high level of anxiety symptomatology had worse performance in the visuospatial sketch pad task, which in this sample did not happen, that is, there is no significant relationship between the high level of symptomatology anxiety and task performance.
