Neuropsychological evidence suggests that visuospatial memory is subserved by two separable processing systems, with dorsal underpinnings for global form and ventral underpinnings for the integration of part elements. Previous drawing studies have explored the effects of Gestalt organisation upon memory for hierarchical stimuli, and we here present an exploratory study of an apraxic dorsal stream patient's (MH) performance. We presented MH with a stimulus set (previously reported by Riddoch et al.

- - The study examined how both veterans and nonveterans coped with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on changes in coping strategies over three different time points when vaccines became available.
- - Researchers used an online survey to gather responses on coping strategies and mental health symptoms from over 2,000 participants, finding three main coping styles: adaptive, distressed, and disengaged, with veterans showing different patterns compared to nonveterans.
- - The findings suggest that while many people changed their coping styles, maintaining the same style was linked to lower anxiety and depression levels, highlighting the importance of understanding coping dynamics for better mental health support in stressful situations.
Purpose: Beliefs that the risks from a COVID-19 vaccine outweigh the risks from getting COVID-19 and concerns that the vaccine development process was rushed and lacking rigor have been identified as important drivers of hesitancy and refusal to get a COVID-19 vaccine. We tested whether messages designed to address these beliefs and concerns might promote intentions to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Method: We conducted an online survey fielded between March 8-23, 2021 with US Veteran (n = 688) and non-Veteran (n = 387) respondents.
Purpose: Communicating about COVID-19 vaccine side effects and efficacy is crucial for promoting transparency and informed decision-making, but there is limited evidence on how to do so effectively.
Design: A within-subjects experiment.
Setting: Online survey from January 21 to February 6, 2021.
Recovery of Visuospatial Neglect Subtypes and Relationship to Functional Outcome Six Months After Stroke.
Neurorehabil Neural Repair
September 2021
. This study aims to investigate how complex visuospatial neglect behavioural phenotypes predict long-term outcomes, both in terms of neglect recovery and broader functional outcomes after 6 months post-stroke. .
