Neuropsychology Mental Structure

Spatial attention in the mental architecture: evidence from neuropsychology.

Using neuropsychological evidence, this paper examines whether spatial attention functions as a domain-specific module or as a more general-purpose central processor. Data are presented from two spatial attention cuing tasks completed by subjects, with an acquired attentional deficit, and control subjects. In both tasks, an arrow indicated with high probability the side of response (response ta...

Visual Neuropsychology

Characteristics Visual neuropsychology is the sub-discipline of neuropsychology dedicated to understanding how visual information is processed by cerebro-cortical and subcortical mechanisms and how that information gives rise to perceptions and other behaviors. The discipline has grown in conjunction with knowledge of the anatomical connections and tuning properties of visual cortical neurons i...

Cognitive Neuropsychology

Parts of the left ventral visual pathway are engaged selectively during the perception of words, letterstrings, and even single letters. While studies have shown overlap between activations for letters and characters across writing systems, they adopted group analyses with very limited spatial resolution, or used words and letterstrings, which have been shown to activate different regions from ...
