Spatial reasoning skills in the male brain: The risk of losing it
T
he Schizophrenia Spectrum has the characteristic of
to cause impairments in spatial reasoning in the brain.
The spatial reasoning is developed more strongly in the first
years of life and throughout life for healthy persons and is
breached when the schizophrenia spectrum is installed. This
abnormality occurs in the encephalon because important
cognitive neuronal losses happens over the years, causing
even, behavioral changes. The suffering with hallucinations
and depression is worst if the person is not treated and a
multidisciplinary treatment gives better results. A cognitive
comparison between a group of patients with schizophrenia
spectrum in treatment and a group of healthy volunteers is
the aim of this study. A survey was conducted by applying
of a psychological test of objective nature, in two groups
of volunteers, being a group composed of 9 patients with
schizophrenia spectrum, organized, owners of their mental
faculties and treated; and the other group of 16 healthy
persons external to the hospital environment. The mean age
is 40.22 and 36.87 years respectively. All tests were applied
and corrected by a qualified and accredited professional
in accordance with the rules in force in the country. In
Figure 1, it is possible to visualize the differentiation about
performances between the groups with 95.6% confidence
interval and p-value between 0.5513 and 0.5522, not
discarding the hypothesis of equality between groups, in
despite of the difference between themeans being 21.44 and
31.56 respectively. It was preoccupant result because a better
result was expected about the healthy volunteers. Would be
the growing use of technology? It is easier for the brain to
use shortest way and not exercise the thought. All things, all
views are ready for the direct use. Is not necessary to think
again and it is very good to save time, but it has his price to
development of reasoning in the brain and its performance.
