Relations between Attentional and Intentional Neural SystemsPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 81 Số 3 - Trang 947-951 - 1995
Gianpaolo Basso, Paolo Nichelli
This study explored whether preparing an arm movement influences detection of a visual stimulus We cued subjects to respond with either a rightward or a leftward movement to the appearance of a stimulus located either in the centre, in the left, or in the right visual field. Programming a movement toward a lateral direction enhanced visual attention at that side. Rightward movements were ...... hiện toàn bộ
Facial Recall: Feature–Conjunction Effects in Source Retrieval Versus Item RecognitionPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 125 Số 2 - Trang 369-386 - 2018
Aiqing Nie
Within memory processing, feature and conjunction effects refer to higher false alarms (incorrectly naming items as previously seen) for stimuli with partial/all features taken from different previously studied versus novel items. In this study, we compared feature–conjunction effects in the memory tasks of both item recognition and source retrieval, using faces as stimuli. We found great...... hiện toàn bộ
Football Increases the Risk for Lou Gehrig's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 104 Số 3_suppl - Trang 1251-1254 - 2007
Ernest L. Abel
A recent report of a six-fold increase in prevalence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease, in soccer players prompted a similar investigation in National Football League players in the United States. Using the internet, a retrospective analysis indicated 8 of the 3,891 players who played or debuted after 1960 had ALS, a prevalence of 206 per 100,000, a...... hiện toàn bộ
Directional Confusion as a Sign of DyslexiaPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 535-543 - 1971
Gerald P. Ginsburg, Ann Hartwick
The concept of dyslexia is both important and ambiguous. In an effort to reduce the ambiguity of the concept, several hundred second-grade school children were tested for primary reading errors and for two non-reading characteristics often mentioned as signs of dyslexia. Through analyses based in large part on the logic of mixed-group validation (Dawes & Meehl, 1966), confusion in ide...... hiện toàn bộ
Lateral Preference and Ability to Conserve Multiple Spatial Relations by Mentally Retarded ChildrenPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 151-152 - 1972
John R. Kershner
31 trainable mentally retarded children were divided into lateralized and mixed-dominant groups and were then tested for their ability to perform a spatial task requiring short-term memory and reversible visual imagery. Retarded children with inconsistent and crossed laterality patterns were better in visual-spatial ability than retarded children whose sided preferences were unilateral in...... hiện toàn bộ
Paced Auditory Serial-Addition Task: A Measure of Recovery from ConcussionPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 44 Số 2 - Trang 367-373 - 1977
Dorothy Gronwall
The need for a measure of severity of concussion apart from duration of post-traumatic amnesia is examined. The paced auditory serial-addition test, a measure of rate of information processing, is presented as a convenient test for estimating individual performance during recovery. Procedures for administration and control data are given, and the programme used for managing the rehabilita...... hiện toàn bộ
