PSY341H1 : psy341 - TT2 artical readings.doc
Document Summary
Right posterior sts selective processes biological motion: active when individual views human or robot walking, not when inanimate object (i. e. grandfather clock) Number of attentional shifts equal between congruent and incongruent: experiment repeated with asd vs control groups. Control showed greater activity for incongruent > congruent. Positive correlation between magnitude of differentiation between biological and nonbiological motion in the right posterior sts and age: specialization of cortical network for perception of biological motion becomes increasingly fine-tuned throughout development. Development of left occipitotemporal systems for skilled reading in children after a phonologically-based intervention (see lecture notes) Standardized testing: word attack subset of wrat tests pseudowords, verbal intelligence of wisc iq, gort rate, accuracy, frequency, comprehension. Community vs experimental intervention (phonological-based) for a year. Results: gort higher in ei, greater left hemispheric activation in both treatment groups; greater in ei. Medulloblastoma group performed most poorly when required to use sensory and somatomotor input.
