Abstract(s)
A memória de trabalho refere-se ao armazenamento temporário e à
manipulação de informações que são necessárias para o desempenho de
atividades cognitivas. O esboço visuoespacial é um subsistema visual paralelo,
da memória de trabalho, que serve para armazenar e manipular a informação
visual e espacial. A sintomatologia depressiva é marcada, maioritariamente, por
sintomas como a tristeza, choro, insónia, irritabilidade e desânimo. Este estudo
procura perceber se existe alguma diferença entre sexos em relação à
sintomatologia depressiva e aferir se índices de sintomatologia depressiva
elevados influenciam o desempenho dos indivíduos na tarefa RCBTT do esboço
visuoespacial. Método: o estudo foi constituído por 109 participantes, de ambos
os sexos, de nacionalidade portuguesa e com idades compreendidas entre os 18
e 52 anos. Todos os participantes preencheram um questionário
sociodemográfico; responderam a uma pergunta para avaliar o seu nível de
fadiga, sonolência e alerta no momento; e por fim, iniciaram a tarefa RCBTT.
Resultados: não encontrámos diferenças significativas de sintomatologia
depressiva entre o sexo feminino e masculino, nem do score da tarefa RCBTT com
o BSI. Conclusões: os resultados deste estudo sugerem que não existe, nesta
amostra, uma relação direta entre a sintomatologia depressiva e o sexo, nem do
score da tarefa com o BSI.
Working memory refers to the temporary storage and manipulation information that is necessary for the performance of cognitive activities. The visuospatial sketch is a parallel visual subsystem of working memory that serves to store and manipulate visual and spatial information. The depressive symptomatology is mostly marked bysymptoms such as sadness, crying, insomnia, irritability, and discouragement. This study seeks to understand if there is any difference between genders in relation to depressive symptoms and to know if high levels of depressive symptoms influence the performance of individuals in the RCBTT.
