Introduction

In the brain injury, regardless of the location of damage or the nerve circuits affected, generally are presented with neuropsychological primary symptoms plus secondary disturbances of attention control. This implies that the aphasia, as it is the more common primary neuropsychological disorder, it is the syndrome neurocognitive, who is the most frequently associated with secondary alterations of the Attentional Control System. Such attention disorders, as well as exacerbate the deficit language processing in aphasia may be associated with multiple factors, related to the injury or the injured patient.

Objective

Describe the secondary neuropsychological alterations of Attentional Control System in aphasic patients, and to determine general factors of injury and of the injured patient (etiology, location, time of recovery of the damage, age, grade level), which are associated to such secondary alterations of the Attentional Control System.

Patients and methods

The study population was made up by 68 aphasic patients of both sexes, and aged between 15 and 60 years. These were applied the Trail Making Test, Porteus Test labyrinths and the series of loops, to explore changes in the Attentional Control System. Statistical processing carried out by means of a frequency distribution and a multiple Ordinal regression.

Results and conclusions

Statistical analysis showed that the secondary neuropsychological alterations of Attentional Control System in aphasic patients, are associated with the location and at the time of recovery of the damage, and are independent of age, grade level and the etiology of the injury.
