How many of you know how it feels to read 3% faster without experiencing any change in comprehension, as the study found?
The participants had no change in comprehension time for the happy statements, which makes sense since the botox injection was geared at frown lines (for sadness).
Thus, although PCA is clearly a degenerative brain disease, it seems quite different in character from the commonest forms of Alzheimer's, where gross changes in memory and thinking, in the comprehension and use of language, and often in behavior and personality tend to dominate the picture, and insight into what is happening (perhaps mercifully) is generally lost early on.
Examining age-related neural change in the context of spoken language comprehension has a number of advantages.
As the camera angle changes, different parts of the structure are highlighted and with this change in perspective, your comprehension of the form changes too until at the end you're left with dripping streaks that slip down the screen in glitchy lines.
Attention serves as a supervisory control for different cognitive functions (including those involved in change detection; see Baddeley, 1993), by overseeing comparisons between the pre-change and post-change representations stored in memory, the comprehension of the change (awareness of the evolution of the situation), and the decision-making needed to act upon the change (see Lamme, 2003).
In line with NIOSH objectives, we: (1) develop and implement a PtD education intervention with engineering students, and (2) measure the change in knowledge and comprehension of occupational health and safety principles from an engineering design perspective from students' first-year to fourth-year.
Nominal change in auditory comprehension and untrained attention and memory functions was observed, and neither RW nor his spouse reported noticeable improvements in his daily attention or communication abilities.
The potential processes underlying the observed bidirectional relations are discussed with respect to developmental changes in reading comprehension across the primary years.
Wernicke area, region of the brain that contains motor neurons involved in the comprehension of speech.
