The purpose of this study is to assess the cognitive function in early stages of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Visual event-related potentials (visual ERPs) were examined in five non-demented patients with PSP and seven control subjects. ERPs were recorded using Figure (non-verbal) and Kanji (verbal) oddball paradigms. The latencies and amplitudes of N100 and P300 components were not si...

It has been suggested that internally generated visual perception involves the primary visual cortex V1. To test this hypothesis, a functional MRI study was conducted with a female subject with orthographic color-word synesthesia. This subject was selected as she reported clear involuntary visualization of auditorily presented verbal material. Hearing a word resulted in seeing the word in a par...

We conducted three experiments indicating that characteristically deontological judgments—here, disapproving of sacrificing one person for the greater good of others—are preferentially supported by visual imagery. Experiment 1 used two matched working memory tasks—one visual, one verbal—to identify individuals with relatively visual cognitive styles and individuals with relatively verbal cognit...

The authors examined the hypothesis that some people are verbal learners and some people are visual learners. They presented a battery of 14 cognitive measures related to the visualizer–verbalizer dimension to 95 college students and then conducted correlational and factor analyses. In a factor analysis, each measure loaded most heavily onto 1 of 4 factors: cognitive style (such as visual–verba...

The present study was aimed at investigating different aspects of Executive Functions (EF) in children with Developmental Dyslexia (DD). A neuropsychological battery tapping verbal fluency, spoonerism, attention, verbal shifting, short-term and working memory was used to assess 60 children with DD and 65 with typical reading (TR) abilities. Compared to their controls, children with DD showed de...
