Abstract

Multiple sclerosis affects the ner- vous system causing cognitive impairment. Memory is one of the most affected, notwiths- tanding the nature or primary factor of disturbance is not yet clarified, Objective: to study the differences in verbal information processing in a group of this neurological pathology patients com- pared to healthy control group. To do this we exa- mined the neuropsychological performance of 16 patients with multiple sclerosis relapsing-remit- ting type and a control group. The two groups were administered the Verbal Learning Test Spain- Complutense and a comparison between va- rious test indices in both groups, and an analysis of correlation between socio-demographic varia- bles in the experimental group to identify a protec- tive factor. Results: Multiple sclerosis group obtai- ned lower scores on indices analyzed with respect to control, as well as positive correlation between years of schooling and the onset of the disea- se and between the onset of the disease and occupa- tion. The data found suggest that multiple sclerosis patients have little ability to plan, which directly affects their performance in learning and me- mory tasks.
