Abstract:
This study aims to assess the relationships between the verbalizer-visualizer styles and visuospatial skills in 53 patients with acquired brain injury and consequent cognitive deficits. Results showed a high tendency to mentally visualize in patients with visuospatial neglect and a low tendency toward visualization in patients with attention and memory deficits. The verbalizer-visualizer style did not correlate to performance in perception and imagery visuospatial tasks. This study suggests that patients with neglect can benefit from an imagery training that some might believe to mismatch with the features of the patients' cognitive functioning.
