Minor hemisphere dominance for certain visuospatial functions. ❋ Unknown (1981)
When they returned, they either sat quietly for 10 minutes; played a videogame testing "visuospatial" skills (Tetris, in this case); or played a videogame testing general knowledge and memory (Pub Quiz). ❋ Christopher Shea (2010)
To interfere with this type of visual processing we need to target what are known cognitively as 'visuospatial' resources ❋ Unknown (2009)
The sessions are geared toward exercising six cognitive areas: short- and long-term memory; language; computation; visuospatial orientation; and critical thinking. ❋ Katherine Boehret (2011)
There is little doubt that different people are blessed with different amounts of cognitive gifts such as long-term memory and the visuospatial skills chess players are said to employ. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The soroban relies on networks associated with visuospatial information. ❋ Alex Bellos (2010)
The researchers said that any exercise testing visuospatial skills might work as a sort of anti-trauma vaccine — for example, in combat areas. ❋ Christopher Shea (2010)
Having an IQ this high is not necessary to become a physician, attorney, or business executive, but extra cognitive horsepower gives an edge in any occupation that draws heavily on the verbal and visuospatial skills measured by IQ tests. ❋ Unknown (2010)
A study published this month shows the "challenging visuospatial task" undertaken with Tetris and other similar games can reshape the structure of your brain, giving you greater efficiency and thicker cortexes. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In a 1995 study of 1,192 healthy 70- to 79-year-olds, cognitive neuroscientist Marilyn Albert of Johns Hopkins University and her colleagues measured cognition with a battery of tasks that took approximately 30 minutes to complete and included tests of language, verbal memory, nonverbal memory, conceptualization and visuospatial ability. ❋ William Harryman (2009)
Study confirms males/females use different parts of brain in language & visuospatial tasks ❋ Unknown (2006)
These, Lynn believes, were the pressures that ultimately produced the world's best visuospatial abilities. ❋ Lavardera (2008)
Differences in the way men and women perform verbal and visuospatial tasks have been well documented in scientific literature, but findings have been inconsistent as to whether men and women actually use different parts of their brains. ❋ Unknown (2006)
But a new study published in the journal Brain and Language, which accounted for and corrected these methodological factors, confirmed that men and women do indeed use different parts of their brains when processing both language and visuospatial information. ❋ Unknown (2006)
People with mixed or reverse dominance can be expected to gaze in the opposite direction from their peers, and people can be expected to gaze in opposite directions for verbal memory vs. visuospatial task demands. ❋ Unknown (2006)
As visuospatial and visuosensorimotor integrative functions are acquired and primitive reflexes are reorganized, there is increasing activity in the primary visual cortex, parietal and temporal regions, basal ganglia, and cerebellar hemispheres. ❋ Andrew Newberg (2006)
