Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease, damaging people, the majority of whom are elderly, with regard to loss of memory, cognitive functions and motor skills. Considering mental stimulation as an alternative to delayed progression of the disease, the study aims to develop tasks that allow to work on problems involving arithmetic with individuals with Alzheimer's disease and to discuss how these stimuli may contribute to the disease. For the accomplishment of the work, a set of tasks designed to work the memory and the cognitive and motor functions of people affected by Alzheimer's disease was developed.
Highlights
Present an overview on the theme and purpose of the work
Aiming at the application of mathematical tasks, the project seeks to present a descriptive analysis of Alzheimer's disease, its performance in the brain with regard to its power to impair neuronal activities and, cognitive functions
The work focused on the study of arithmetic operations, considering the basic calculation a form of brain development and possible source of delay of cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer's
Summary
Aiming at the application of mathematical tasks, the project seeks to present a descriptive analysis of Alzheimer's disease, its performance in the brain with regard to its power to impair neuronal activities and, cognitive functions. The tasks aim beyond the mental stimulus itself to provide information that contributes to a broader understanding of the role, potentialities and limitations of activities related to the calculation of magnitudes, resolution of the four operations and problems for disease retardation, and to analyze which way this occurs.
