Summary
Time is an important function that permeates our everyday activities but it has been so far significantly under-investigated in neurological patients.
For instance, it is known that right brain damaged (RBD) patients with spatial attentional
Aims of this study are to investigate:
i) the performance (in terms of accuracy and reaction times) of
A group of control subjects will be involved for comparison among groups.
Description
Time processing involves different abilities - i.e. estimating the duration of an event (Time
Estimation) and moving in past and future time (Mental Time Travelling) - and it is a
fundamental ability in everyday life. However, in neuropsychology, time processing is
routinely neglected in the
For instance, it is known that right brain damaged (RBD) patients with spatial attentional
Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated that a leftward shift of spatial attention
induced by prismatic adaptation (PA) determines an amelioration of both, time underestimation
and the
The Mental Time Travelling, in particular, seems to involve different cognitive functions,
among others, episodic memory and the ability to anticipate the future. Recent evidence
suggests that these functions are
