Recovery from visuospatial neglect in stroke patients.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 1998Co-Authors: T.p. Cassidy, S Lewis, Christopher S. GrayAbstract:OBJECTIVES To describe the natural recovery of visuospatial neglect in stroke patients and the distribution of errors made on cancellation tests using a standardised neuropsychological test battery. METHOD A prospective study of acute ( RESULTS There were 66 patients with acute right hemispheric stroke assessed of whom 27 (40.9%) had evidence of visuospatial neglect. Patients with neglect, on admission, had a mean behavioural inattention test (BIT) score of 56.3, range 10–126 (normal>129). Three of the subtests identified errors being made in both the right and left hemispaces. During follow up, recovery occurred across both hemispaces, maximal in the right hemispace. Recovery from visuospatial neglect was associated with improvement in function as assessed by the Barthel score. At the end of the study period only six (31.5%) patients had persisting evidence of neglect. On admission the best predictor of recovery of visuospatial neglect was the line cancellation test (Spearman’s rank correlation r =−0.4217, p=0.028). CONCLUSION The demonstration of errors in both hemispaces has implications for the theory that neglect is a lateralised Attentional Problem and is important to recognise in planning the rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Early television exposure and subsequent attention Problems in children.
Pediatrics, 2004Co-Authors: Jane M HealyAbstract:The study by Christakis et al,1 relating the amount of children’s television exposure at ages 1 and 3 years to later attention Problems, is important and long overdue. Their systematic approach, their inclusion of a wide variety of variables, and the size of the group all lend credibility to their findings, which create a new imperative for follow-up investigations. Additional studies should, among other things, quantify more specifically the diagnosis of “Attentional Problem,” investigate the potential mechanisms underlying this relationship, parcel out the effects of various types of content, and ultimately seek specific causal variables, if any exist. Neuroscience increasingly confirms the power of environmental experiences in shaping the developing brain because of the plasticity of its neuronal connectivity. Thus, repeated exposure … Address correspondence to Jane M. Healy, PhD, 4266 Columbine Dr, Vail, CO 81657. E-mail: janetomh{at}vail.net

Attentional bias for threat crisis or opportunity
Clinical Psychology Review, 2019Co-Authors: Richard J McnallyAbstract:Abstract Beginning in the 1980s, experimental psychopathologists increasingly adapted the concepts and paradigms of cognitive science to elucidate information-processing abnormalities that may figure in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders. Assessment and modification of Attentional biases for threat has been a major theme in this research program. The field has witnessed the development of progressively more sophisticated approaches for isolating Attentional processes from other cognitive processes in the service of accurate assessment and treatment. Yet the field is now in crisis as foundational concerns about the reliability of basic measures of Attentional bias for threat (ABT) have emerged. Moreover, recent research points to theoretical revisions deemphasizing ABT as a stable, near-universal feature of anxiety disorders, and stressing deficits in executive control as the primary Attentional Problem linked to anxiety.
