Correlation between attention and memory skills by NEUROPSI in patients attending the AA rehabilitation center

Attention and memory are the main neuropsychological functions which serve to develop learning in humans. These intellectual and cognitive faculties are essential to achieve goals or not during daily life. Objective: to identify the correlation between attention and memory neurocognitive skills, with the help of the NEUROPSI Neuropsychological Battery in patients attending "AA" rehabilitation centers. Methodology: This study is exploratory, non-experimental, observational, cross-sectional and correlational with a descriptive statistical analysis. Contribution: in the present study the following results were found: regarding Pearson's correlational analysis between attention and alcohol consumption, a moderate positive significance was found with r=.50, p=.52 and with a reliability of 0.01 which indicates that the greater the consumption of alcohol, the greater the alteration of the ability for attention and concentration. And in terms of memory, it was found that the greater the consumption of alcohol, the greater the alteration of the ability for visual memory with an r=.53, a p=.55 and with a reliability of 0.01.
