   Sammanfattning : Impairments of visuospatial attention, language, and processing speed (PS) are common early after stroke and have been associated with unfavorable short-term functional outcomes but little is known about this relationship in the long-term. This thesis investigates 1) the potential importance of visuospatial inattention (VSI) and language impairments (LI) as predictors of functional outcomes 7 years after an ischemic stroke (studies I-II) and 2) presence of lateralized inattention 7 years after stroke and potential predictors of this phenomenon (study III).

3. 2. Sex Differences in Memory and Other Cognitive Abilities

   Författare :Catharina Lewin; Lars-Göran Nilsson; Diane F Halpern; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cognition; memory; sex differences; gender; verbal abilities; visuospatial; face recognition; brain aging; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to study sex differences in memory and other cognitive bilities in healthy adults. In Study I, participants performed a number of episodic memory tasks that were more or less verbal in nature. LÄS MER

4. 3. Neural Mechanisms Determining Visuospatial Working Memory Tasks : Biophysical Modeling, Functional MRI and EEG

   Författare :Fredrik Edin; Jesper Tegnér; Klaas Stephan; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Sammanfattning : Visuospatial working memory (vsWM) is the ability to temporarily retain goal-relevant visuospatial information in memory. It is a key cognitive function related to general intelligence, and it improves throughout childhood and through WM training. LÄS MER

7. 5. Long-term functional outcome after ischemic stroke: Prognostic value of early identification of neglect and aphasia

   Författare :Joel Gerafi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; visuospatial inattention; language impairment; long-term functional outcome; ischemic stroke; neglect; aphasia;

   Sammanfattning : Early symptoms of neglect and aphasia are often observed after ischemic stroke and have been associated with unfavorable short-term functional outcomes within one year post-stroke. However, there is a lack of studies with inclusion of both neglect and aphasia as potential predictors that have studied long-term functional outcomes exceeding one year after stroke. LÄS MER
