The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) is probably one of the most popular measurement instruments of visuoconstructional abilities and nonverbal memory. It is frequently part of neuropsychological test protocols in epilepsy surgery centers. In this study we compared the traditional scoring system of the ROCF developed by Taylor (1998) with a qualitative system that assesses spatial-relationa...

INTRODUCTION About 20% to 26% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) show alterations in visuospatial/visuoconstructive (VS-VC) skills even though temporo-parieto-occipital impairment is a frequent finding in magnetic resonance imaging. No studies have specifically analysed the relationship between these functions and lesion volume (LV) in these specific brain areas. OBJECTIVE To evaluate t...

This study investigated the role of heading recency interacting with heading frequency in determining neuropsychological deficits associated with heading the ball during soccer play. Sixty-four high-ability male soccer players ages 16 to 34 completed the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT), the Trailmaking Test, the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), the Facial Recognition Test, th...

How should we analyze repeated trials in neuropsychological testing? It has long been known that experimental subjects display distinct stages of acclimatization and subsequent saturation during cognitive testing (Thurstone, 1927). For example, in list learning tests examining memory, it has been demonstrated that repeated exposure to a fixed enumeration of items can improve recall. However, we...

This paper characterizes several belief-revision rules in a uni…ed framework: Bayesian revision upon learning some event, Je¤rey revision upon learning new probabilities of some events, Adams revision upon learning some new conditional probabilities, and ‘dual-Je¤rey’revision upon learning a new conditional probability function. Despite their di¤erences, these revision rules can be characterize...

Richard Je¤rey regarded the version of Bayesian decision theory he ‡oated in ‘The Logic of Decision’and the idea of a probability kinematics a generalisation of Bayesian conditioning to contexts in which the evidence is ‘uncertain’as his two most important contributions to philosophy. This paper aims to connect them by developing kinematical models for the study of preference change and practic...
