The direction of the effects are consistent with the fact that in children <8 years of age, touch dominates vision in size <span class="lh lhl">judgements, and vision dominates touch in orientation judgements (Gori et al., 2008).
Further, the effect is seen irrespective of whether the orientation judgement is based on the principal axis of the stimulus (judgement of global form), or on a shorter line segment within the stimulus (judgement of local form; [77], [78]).
These include ability to shift attention, problem solving skills, orientation, judgement and speed of reaction [ 11].
with ratings made in six domains (memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies and personal care) from mild to severe dementia (Morris, 1993).
Their results in delayed recall of a list of words and in judgement of line orientation and verbal fluency are lower than in children treated only by chemotherapy.
▪ Visuo-spatial processing and planning will be assessed using the Benton Judgement of Line Orientation – Form V [ 54]. ▪ Information processing speed will be assessed using the Symbol Digit Modalities Test [ 55].
Our work shows that lack of early vision impacts on haptic orientation judgements (Gori et al., 2010), and lack of early haptic perception impacts on visual size judgement (Gori et al., 2012 b ).
In addition, our results provide only limited evidence for any specific brain regions activated during VSI over and above those regions implicated in judgements of stimulus orientation.
For example, response times on orientation judgements are either facilitated or inhibited depending on whether the reference or distracter are semantically related to the target, even though this information is irrelevant to the task [75], [78].
In conclusion, we have shown that judgements of relative orientation and stimulus collinearity activate a similar / over-lapping network of brain regions that incorporate both dorsal and ventral stream areas.
