JIMENEZ JIMENEZ, Sebastián e NOGUERA MORALES, Tatiana. Neuropsychological intervention of memory in a child diagnosed with HIV. CES Psicol [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.1, pp.113-129. ISSN 2011-3080.
J.V. is an 11 years old female patient diagnosed with HIV, since she was born, and who shows neurodevelopmental and learning disabilities caused by the virus. The results of her last neuropsychological assessment highlighted that memory was one of the most weakened psychological processes. A program to rehabilitate J.V. audio-verbal and visual memory was designed. The program lasted 32 sessions, 4 times per week, each one of 45 minutes long. The post-intervention assessment showed changes in the memory of J.V., achieving greater number of words and images spontaneously evoked. Also, the girl achieved greater levels of self-regulation in this type of tasks. The results suggest the possibility of improving memory performance of children diagnosed with HIV. This report evidences the relevance of establishing a coherent relationship between the theoretical model (historical-cultural) and the neuropsychological clinical practice.
