Symmetry Identified in 2-Dimensional Artwork Compositions Using Visuospatial Ability
… viewer. This communication is via the motoric ability of proportional gauging. The action of proportional gauging is the manner in which both the artist and viewer perceive the geometrics and aesthetics of the composition. This process is a conjoined visuospatial and bodily kinetic cortical …

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 …

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 …

Neuropsychological predictors of functional disability in Gulf War Illness.
Functional disability refers to the degree to which a health condition impacts day-to-day physical, social, and emotional functioning. Veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI) may be particularly at risk for developing high functional disability due to their illness. However, few have examined …

One Step Closer to Greater Understanding! Does a Correlation Exist Between Fluid Intelligence and Player Rank in League of Legends?
… associated with improvements in some cognitive ability domains, such as working memory, fluid intelligence, visuospatial ability, and executive functions. This study was designed to bring some attention to whether competitive video games, like the strategy game <em>League of Legends …

Euphoria in multiple sclerosis: an investigation of constructs and symptons
… greater disease severity in terms of physical disability. Severity of the disease and the cognitive composite representing cognitive functions sub-served by the orbitobasal frontal cortex were also significant individual predictors of unawareness of physical deficits. Visuospatial ability …

Parietal dysfunction in children with prenatal alcohol exposure
… parietal functioning, including mathematical and visuospatial ability, have been consistently implicated in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. This thesis examines, in children, using blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the effect of prenatal alcohol …

Sporadic cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive abilities
… understanding of how SVD affects cognitive ability. This thesis aims to address this knowledge gap, by examining domain-specific cognitive abilities in a range of clinical and non-clinical presentations of SVD. In the introductory chapters of this thesis I will discuss what is meant by the …

From Music to Medicine: Transfer of Motor Skills from Piano Performance to Laparoscopic Surgery
Background: Due to the deficit of knowledge on fine motor skill far transfer from one domain of expertise to another, piano performance and surgical training serve as a relevant, interdisciplinary context in which to study the transfer of motor skills given both have relatively well-established …

Arbitrary associative memory: a candidate cognitive endophenotype for probable Alzheimer's disease
… for probable AD, or cognitive markers of liability to the condition that are theoretically closer to its genetic mechanisms than its clinical phenotype, might assist in the identification of susceptibility genes for AD. This is especially the case if these cognitive differences reflect …
