Hemispheric Mechanisms of Visuospatial Selective Attention
I conclude that hemispheric utilization bias enhances a hemisphere's contralateral attentional bias at multiple levels of processing, and individuals can reduce the influence of hemispheric utilization bias when it is detrimental to task performance.

A model for transition-based visuospatial pattern recognition
In my research, I designed and implemented a system for learning and recognizing visual actions based on state transitions. I recorded three training videos of each of 16 actions (approach, bounce, carry, catch, collide, drop, fly over, follow, give, hit, jump, pick, push, put, take, throw), each …

The Effects of Environmental Support and Age on Visuospatial Rehearsal
… distinction between verbal working memory and visuospatial working memory, most research focuses on the verbal domain, and much is still unknown about how people maintain and manipulate visuospatial information. Previous experiments have demonstrated that the amount of environmental support for …

Categorical and coordinate visuospatial processing in younger and older adults
… faster and more accurate to make categorical visuospatial judgements than coordinate visuospatial judgements. This was taken to suggest that categorical visuospatial judgements are less demanding than coordinate visuospatial judgements. Younger adults were also found to process visuospatial …

Effects of Practice Type and Task Difficulty on Visuospatial Performance
<p>The importance of visuospatial skills for every day survival is highly evident. Practice is a mechanism by which visuospatial skills can be enhanced. The current study examined how general practice, different types of practice, and levels of task difficulty affect visuospatial performance. …

Symmetry Identified in 2-Dimensional Artwork Compositions Using Visuospatial Ability
… of the composition. This process is a conjoined visuospatial and bodily kinetic cortical process. A group of seven representative Master artists' paintings from the Quattrocento was the standard of HR-RT with which to compare the use of the construct in the art students' painting compositions. …

The relationship between visuospatial perception networks and visual confrontation naming in aphasia
… understudied. Reviewing evidence from studies of visuospatial perception (VSP) and aphasia suggests the knowledge of the complex of semantic features associated with a stimulus is stored in distributed networks that include areas active during perception [7,10,12,13,14,24,25,43,51,52,62,67,68]. …

Mental rotation with and without a concurrent task: moderating effects of visuospatial ability
… women (N = 27} rated as either high or low in visuospatial ability as assessed on a battery of visuospatial tests (Card Rotations, Mental Rotations, Minnesota Paper Form Board), performed a computer-administered task requiring the mental rotation of abstract geometric shapes presented …

Visuospatial integration and cognitive archaeology: the relationship between body, material culture and human brain
La aparición de la industria lítica es un momento crucial en el linaje humano. La arqueología experimental, objecto de esta tesis, cuenta entre sus objetivos el conocer el posible uso y función de las herramientas de piedra. Los experimentos se basan en reproducir las condiciones manejo de los …

The Effects of Visuospatial Sequence Training with Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
… variety of cognitive tasks, 2) to determine if visuospatial sequencing practice would result in improvements on nontrained tasks measuring phonological memory, sequencing ability, and executive function. Thirty-two children who were deaf or hard of hearing and 29 children with typical hearing …

The Effects of One Neurofeedback Session on Eye-Tracking Distractibility when Completing Verbal and Visuospatial Search Tasks
<p>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common and prevalent condition seen in all ages and throughout the world. School-aged and college-aged students seem to have the most difficulty in terms of academic performance, social functioning, and adaptive functioning. Visual attention …

The Effect Of Gender, Confirmation Bias, And Metacognitive Self Assessment Over Varying Levels Of Expertise In A Visuospatial Task
It has been shown that there exists a relationship between levels of metacognitive ability and estimation of personal ability for largely verbally-based tasks, where those with lessened facility for the task tend toward overestimation of their aptitude relative to their peers (Kruger and Dunning, …

Relation of visuospatial and analytical skills and span of short-term memory to academic achievement in high school geometry
… was to investigate hypothesized relations of visuospatial and logical reasoning skills, and span of short-term memory to achievement in geometry. In addition, major subfactors of visuospatial ability (visualization, speeded rotations, spatial orientation, and disembedding) were assessed to …

Su regimuoju erdvės suvokimu susijusio smegenų aktyvumo dinamikos tyrimas EEG mikrobūsenų metodu /
Visuospatial processing is important for normal perception of the environment and normal functioning in the surrounding environment. Brain areas involvement in visuospatial processing is well known but the order of activation of these areas – temporal dynamics of visuospatial processing – is not …

Association of Alcohol Consumption with Verbal Memory and Visuospatial Memory in Older Adults: Multi-Center Study of Memory Impairment Clinics
… and the relationship between verbal memory and visuospatial memory impairment. The subjects were 1,572 aged persons (489 male, 1,083 female) of age 60 to 90 years old, who participated in the Clinical Research Center for Dementia of South Korea. The subjects completed the neuropsychological …

That's Just Your Point of View: How Visuospatial Biases and Functional Lateralization Influence the Way We Perceive the World
How can individual differences in visuospatial attention and other lateralized functions affect the perception of one’s environment? This research question was examined through the four studies which comprise this dissertation. Studies 1 and 2 examined how visuospatial biases (and other lateralized …

Investigating the effect of self-cues on children and adults’ visuospatial and verbal working memory, and its applications in maths word problem solving
… influence of self-cues on children and adults’ visuospatial and verbal WM. Additionally, the practical applications of self-cues in maths word problem solving were explored. Experiments 1 (children) and 2 (adults) investigated the effect of self-cues on visuospatial WM by displaying owned …
