| dc.description.abstract | Motor stereotypes occur in a multitude of cases, although they are often associated with
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These stereotypes are commonly manifested in
other specificities, such as in the case of people with visual impairment, senility, but
there are still few Brazilian studies that deal with this subject in its diversity. We have
as general objective to investigate the conception of motor stereotypes in the area of
knowledge of the Health Sciences of CNPq, for this, we carry out a study of
documentary character and bibliographic nature through a survey of scientific articles,
dissertations and theses, in the databases: Scielo, Bireme, Google Scholar using the
descriptors: (i) motor stereotypes; (ii) motor stereotypes and language; (iii) motor
stereotypes, language and symptoms. We gave preference to articles published
nationwide, as well as to works published from 2015 to 2019. In almost all of them, the
results shown in the areas of Health Sciences were that, in the works consulted, motor
stereotypes are seen as decontextualized repetitive movements, and considered as a
symptom, with few allusions to language. It was also found that the medical field has
the highest concentration of work on stereotypes and that its conception as a symptom
prevails mainly linked to autism. To a lesser extent, the relationship between
stereotypes as symptoms or behaviors was verified in other instances, such as dementia
and Rett Syndrome. | eng |
