HC3 Flashcards
Sturge-Weber syndrome
port-wine stain
calcification of the gyri (kronkels)
epilespy
hemiparesis
conclusions of lesion studies
after left hemisperectomy: impairments in all language functions
after right; borderline performance
etiology matters:
- more severe impairment for cortical dysplasia (in cell migration didnt reach right areas)
- best outcome for left vascular aand right rasmussen (epilepsie aanvallen langdurig)
exogenous attention is triggered by external stimuli and reflexive, develops earlier/later in childhood and is involved in which brain region?
earlier in childhood
Parietal = tactile, somatic sensory information, orienting, associative functions
endogenous attention is internal and voluntary
develops later/earlier in childhood
involved in brain regions:
later in childhood
anterior cingulate and prefrontal regions
subtypes of attention
vigilance/sustained attention
selective attention
attentional control
what falls under attentional control?
inhibition
divided attention
self-regulation and monitoring
selective attention
what processes does it entail
at what age can child focus
when are growth spurts
- Temporoparietal cortex and basal ganglia
- disengagement, shifting, engagement, inhibition of return and
anticipatory eye movements - 7-10 months can already focus (Lawson & Ruff, 2004)
- Further growth spurts at:
– 3-6 years of age
– 8-10 years
– Around 15 years
timeframe of vigilance (sustained attention)
- Emerges gradually during infancy and early childhood
- Accelerated development 8-11 years old
- Only gradual improvements during adolescence
attentional control (inhibition and attention control & divided attention)
what entails
- Divided attention
– Little evidence for this before the
age of 9 years
– Linked to anterior cingulate and
prefrontal cortex - Inhibition & attention control
– See executive function
what are acquired attentional disorders?
traumatic brain injury
stroke
metabolic disorder
what type of attention is measured with stroop task?
selective attention
inhibition
what is the bourdon-vos task and what does it measure?
je moet van 33 stippenpatronen degenen doorstrepen die uit vier stippen bestaan
is voor kinderen van 6 tot 17 jaar
meet sustained en focused attention
de tijd dat ze erover doen wordt gemeten
trail making task 2 versions what are they and hat do they measure
version A: focused attention verbind lijntjes van 1 naar 2 naar 3 etc
version B: divided attention verbind lijntje van 1 naar A naar 2 naar B etc
what is test of everyday attention and details?
-age
-number of subtests
-what does it measure
- 6-16 years
- Nine subtests
- Assessing:
– Selective attention
– Sustained attention
– Attention control
– Response inhibition - Dutch and Australian norms available
processes of memory in chronological order?
encoding
storage
retrieval
what is the difference btwn recognition and retrieval?
retrieval is being able to reproduce previously learnt information
duration of sensory register
milli- to seconds
duration & capacity short-term memory
several minutes
~7 items
duration and capacity long term memory
hours, days, months, years
capacity > 7 items
what is the development of short-term/ and working memory (temporary) influenced by?
repetition speed and
development of strategies such as chunking
development of WM/STM?
Gradual increase in memory span
* 3-4 items: 3 years old
* 5-6 items: 9 years old
* 7 or more: early adolescence
