Impaired interaction between memory and neurocognitive functions in collegestudents

Introduction. Medical students require the ability to remember information, which allows them to forge their professional training. Aim. Identify the efficiency of cognitive functions and their interaction with memory in medical students. Methods. Documentary, descriptive, quantitative, retrospective and cross-sectional study of a database (288) with the results of the neuropsychological evaluation with NEUROPSI Breve in Spanish, applied to medical students. Results. Only 2 Neuropsi variables showed moderate correlation, which were Visuospatial Process Copy and Spontaneous Visuospatial Memory and the rest (20) of the variables showed weak or very weak correlation. Conclusion. The low interaction values between most of the neurocognitive variables and memory show an important area of opportunity to more efficiently improve the professional training of medical students.
