13. Avaliação neuropsicológica de pacientes expostos ao vapor de mercúrio e de pacientes diabéticos do tipo 2 / Neuropsychological assessments of patients exposed to mercury vapor and of type 2 diabetic patients
Neuropsychological function is known to be affected by exposure to toxic substances and metabolic disorders. Two descriptive studies were performed. The aim was to examine possible neuropsychological dysfunction in individuals with history of occupational exposure to mercury vapor, and in type 2 diabetic patients without retinopathy, in comparison with contr

14. Os recursos visuais na compreensão de leitura em lingua estrangeira : reflexões sobre exames de vestibular
As a teacher of English, my concern is understanding how the process of reading comprehension in English works, as well as searching for more efficient ways to improve the students" performance in this ability. For that, a deep analysis of foreign languages reading theories is necessary and, also, an investigation on the students" performance in this practic

15. Descompasso entre estilo de ensino/aprendizagem e os objetivos dos alunos
This work is based on the assumption that there are two essential learning and teaching styles--sensorial and intuitive--divided into five dimensions (sensorial/intuitive; visual/verbal; active/reflective; sequencial/global; deductive/inductive). The focus will be on the last dichotomy, which refers to the two ways of processing information. In language teac

16. Lingual and fusiform gyri in visual processing: a clinico-pathologic study of superior altitudinal hemianopia.
A macular-sparing superior altitudinal hemianopia with no visuo-psychic disturbance, except impaired visual learning, was associated with bilateral ischaemic necrosis of the lingual gyrus and only partial involvement of the fusiform gyrus on the left side. It is suggested that bilateral destruction of the lingual gyrus alone is not sufficient to affect compl

17. Temporal dynamics of verbal object comprehension
Knowledge of the stage composition and the temporal dynamics of human cognitive operations is critical for building theories of higher mental activity. This information has been difficult to acquire, even with different combinations of techniques such as refined behavioral testing, electrical recording/interference, and metabolic imaging studies. Verbal obje

18. Neuropsychological impairments in chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and depression.
To examine the degree and nature of cognitive impairments in chronic fatigue syndrome, a comprehensive neuropsychological battery was given to patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depressed patients, and healthy controls. The battery included tests of attention and concentration, information processing speed, verbal and visual memory,

19. Precocious realists: perceptual and cognitive characteristics associated with drawing talent in non-autistic children
A local processing bias in the block design task and in drawing strategy has been used to account for realistic drawing skill in individuals with autism. We investigated whether the same kind of local processing bias is seen in typically developing children with unusual skill in realistic graphic representation. Forty-three 5–11-year-olds who drew a still

20. Working memory in medicated patients with Parkinson's disease: the central executive seems to work.
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether a deficit of the central executive can explain the attentional deficits of patients with Parkinson's disease. METHODS--Fifteen patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and 15 controls were given a dual task paradigm minimising motor demands and combining verbal, visual, or spatial span with two conditions of articulatory s

21. Neural Correlates of Person Recognition
Rapidly identifying known individuals is an essential skill in human society. To elucidate the neural basis of this skill, we monitored brain activity while experimental participants demonstrated their ability to recognize people on the basis of viewing their faces. Each participant first memorized the faces of 20 individuals who were not known to the pa
