Neuropsychological contribution to predict conversion to dementia in patients w...
Silva, Dina; Cardoso, Sandra; Guerreiro, Manuela; Maroco, Joao; Mendes, Tiago; Alves, Luisa; Nogueira, Joana; Baldeiras, Ines; Santana, IsabelBackground: Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) confirmed by biomarkers allows the patient to make important life decisions. However, doubt about the fleetness of symptoms progression and future cognitive decline remains. Neuropsychological measures were extensively studied in prediction of time to conversion to dementia for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients in the absence of biomarker information. Sim...
Can Subjective Memory Complaints Identify A beta Positive and A beta Negative A...
Mendes, Tiago; Cardoso, Sandra; Guerreiro, Manuela; Maroco, Joao; Silva, Dina; Alves, Luisa; Schmand, Ben; Gerardo, Bianca; Lima, MarisaBackground: The use of biomarkers, in particular amyloid-beta (A(beta) changes, has allowed the possibility to identify patients with subjective memory complaints (SMCs) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) who suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since it is unfeasible that all patients with aMCI could presently undergo biomarkers assessment, it would be important that SMCs might contribute to identi...
Redes multiplicativas e soletos: aprendizagens matemáticas com sentido
Fernandes, Darida; Pinho, Inês; Cabrita, Isabel; Alves, Luisa; Silva, Jaime; Duarte, PedroCom este projeto de investigação pretende-se estudar as implicações do contexto cultural nas aprendizagens matemáticas. Em particular, procura-se analisar como é que as crianças se vão apropriando do novo conceito de rede multiplicativa e o mobilizam num ambiente cultural aberto de resolução de problemas, explorando um elemento económico e cultural da região: o ‘soleto’. Os resultados obtidos permitiram conclui...
