Is there a specific visuo-spatial impairment in Parkinsonians?
Twenty-five non-demented patients with mild, idiopathic, Parkinson's disease were compared with 25 age and education matched normal controls on a visuo-spatial performance task, whose characteristics were directional forecast, with minimal motor requirement and a maximal spatial load. No statistical support was found for the existence of spatial impairment in these patients.
متن کاملVisuo-spatial processing in parkinsonians.
It has been suggested that patients with Parkinson's disease (PDs) may have problems processing visuo-spatial information and that this deficiency may contribute to the motor control problems observed in PD. However, most studies reporting visuo-spatial deficits are equivocal; they confound perceptual and motor processes. To address this issue, the present experiment systematically compared the...
متن کاملVisuo-spatial processing and executive functions in children with specific language impairment.
BACKGROUND Individual differences in complex working memory tasks reflect simultaneous processing, executive functions, and attention control. Children with specific language impairment (SLI) show a deficit in verbal working memory tasks that involve simultaneous processing of information. AIMS The purpose of the study was to examine executive functions and visuospatial processing and working...
متن کاملFurther defining the language impairment of autism: is there a specific language impairment subtype?
UNLABELLED Some children with autism demonstrate poor nonword repetition--a deficit considered to be a psycholinguistic marker of specific language impairment (SLI). The present study examined whether there is an SLI subtype among children with autism. We compared the language abilities of children with SLI (n=34, M age=11;10 S.D.=2;3), and children with autism with (Apoor, n=18, M age=10;11 S....
متن کاملDevelopmental dyscalculia is related to visuo-spatial memory and inhibition impairment☆
Developmental dyscalculia is thought to be a specific impairment of mathematics ability. Currently dominant cognitive neuroscience theories of developmental dyscalculia suggest that it originates from the impairment of the magnitude representation of the human brain, residing in the intraparietal sulcus, or from impaired connections between number symbols and the magnitude representation. Howev...
