This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'étude proposée ici avait comme objectif de discuter de la nature des difficultés de traitement visuel mises en cause dans un contexte de dyslexie de surface. Pour ce faire, nous avons proposé des épreuves mettant en jeu les aptitudes visuo-attentionnelles et un bilan orthoptique neuro-visuel à deux groupes d'enfants : un groupe d'enfants dyslexiques de surface et un groupe d'enfants normo-lecteurs, appariés en âge lexique. Notre hypothèse de départ postulait l'existence d'une corrélation entre troubles neuro-visuels et troubles visuo-attentionnels dans le cas d'une dyslexie de surface. Les évaluations menées dans le cadre de notre protocole nous ont permis d'observer, pour ces deux types de traitement visuel, des performances déficitaires et inférieures à celles des entànts du groupe témoin, chez tous les enfants dyslexiques de surface. Ces déficits se manifestaient chez ces derniers par une réduction de la fenêtre attentionnelle de traitement au niveau visuo-attentionnel, et par un mauvais contrôle des mouvements oculaires au niveau neuro-visuel. Ces observations suggèrent l'existence d'un lien étroit entre ces deux composantes du traitement de l'information visuelle. Ainsi, les résultats de notre étude soulignent l'importance, d'une part, d'une recherche systématique des déficits sous-jacents aux troubles d'acquisition de la lecture et montrent, d'autre part, la nécessité d'un travail de collaboration avec les orthoptistes dans l'objectif d'une prise en charge adaptée de ces troubles.
Download or read book Surface Dyslexia written by Karalyn Patterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child with developmental dyslexia or an adult with a reading disorder following brain damage might read the word shoe as 'show', why does this happen? Most current information processing models of reading distinguish between two alternative procedures for the pronunciation of a printed word. The difference between these concerns the level at which orthography is translated to phonology in one, the word-level procedure, a word is read aloud with reference to knowledge specific to that whole word. In the other, the sub-word-level procedure, a printed word is pronounced with reference to knowledge about smaller segments which occur in many different words. Both procedures contribute to normal skilled reading and its acquisition. But if one of the procedures is disrupted, then oral reading will be forced to rely on the alternative routine. Surface dyslexia is a general label for any disorder of reading which results from inadequate functioning of the word-level procedure and in consequence abnormal reliance on sub-word level translation from orthography to phonology. Originally published in 1985, this book provides new evidence about the diverse manifestations of surface dyslexia in adult neurological patients and in children with developmental disorders of reading. The data are drawn from speakers of a range of languages with distinct orthographies. Process models for the pronunciation of print are elaborated, and an appendix gives neurological information on the patients reported.
Download or read book Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Older Adults with Low Vision written by Jennifer Kaldenberg and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. population is aging, and occupational therapy practitioners working with older adults must have the skills to address multiple health issues, including vision loss. Although typical aging does not cause low vision, four major causes of vision impairment are directly related to the aging process: (1) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), (2) diabetic retinopathy, (3) glaucoma, and (4) cataracts. Instances of these impairments are expected to double by the year 2050, making low vision a significant public health issue. This Practice Guideline includes occupational therapy assessment and intervention guidelines for older adults who have visual acuity impairments, visual field impairments, or both as a result of a low vision diagnosis. Screening, referral, and evaluation are covered for clients for central visual field impairments, such as AMD and cataract; peripheral field impairments, such as glaucoma, hemianopsia, and quadrantanopsia; and mixed visual field loss, such as diabetic retinopathy. This work can help occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, as well as individuals who manage, reimburse, or set policy regarding occupational therapy services, understand the contribution of occupational therapy to treating older adults with low vision. Appendixes include selected diagnostic and billing codes and evidence tables.

Download or read book The Cognitive and Neural Bases of Spatial Neglect written by Hans-Otto Karnath and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial neglect is a disorder of space-related behaviour. It is characterized by failure to explore the side of space contralateral to a brain lesion, or to react or respond to stimuli or subjects located on this side. Research on spatial neglect and related disorders has developed rapidly inrecent years. These advances have been made as a result of neuropsychological studies of patients with brain damage, behavioural studies of animal models, as well as through functional neurophysiological experiments and functional neuroimaging.The Cognitive and Neural Bases of Spatial Neglect provides an overview of this wide-ranging field of scientific endeavour, providing a cohesive synthesis of the most recent observations and results. As well as being a fascinating clinical phenomenon, the study of spatial neglect helps us tounderstand normal mechanisms of directing and maintaining spatial attention and is relevant to the contemporary search for the cerebral correlates of conscious experience, voluntary action and the nature of personal identity itself.The book is divided into seven sections covering the anatomical and neurophysiological bases of the disorder, frameworks of neglect, perceptual and motor factors, the relation to attention, the cognitive processes involved, and strategies for rehabilitation.Chapters have been written by a team of the leading international experts in this field.This will be essential reading for neuropsychologists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, cognitive neuroscientists and psychologists.

Download or read book The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Language Psychology Revivals written by Max Coltheart and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Damage to the brain can impair language in many different ways, severely harming some linguistic functions whilst sparing others. To achieve some understanding of the apparently bewildering diversity of language disorders, it is necessary to interpret impaired linguistic performance by relating it to a model of normal linguistic performance. Originally published in 1987, this book describes the application of such models of normal language processing to the interpretation of a wide variety of linguistic disorders. It deals with both the production and the comprehension of language, with language at both the sentence and the single-word level, with written as well as with spoken language and with acquired as well as with developmental disorders.

Download or read book Clinical Systems Neuroscience written by Kenji Kansaku and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impaired brain has often been difficult to rehabilitate owing to limited knowledge of the brain system. Recently, advanced imaging techniques such as fMRI and MEG have allowed researchers to investigate spatiotemporal dynamics in the living human brain. Consequently, knowledge in systems neuroscience is now rapidly growing. Advanced techniques have found practical application by providing new prosthetics, such as brain–machine interfaces, expanding the range of activities of persons with disabilities, or the elderly. The book’s chapters are authored by researchers from various research fields such as systems neuroscience, rehabilitation, neurology, psychology and engineering. The book explores the latest advancements in neurorehabilitation, plasticity and brain–machine interfaces among others and constitutes a solid foundation for researchers who aim to contribute to the science of brain function disabilities and ultimately to the well-being of patients and the elderly worldwide.
