Normal and anomalous development of visual motion processing: motion coherence and 'dorsal-stream vulnerability'.

abstract：:Working memory, the ability to maintain and manipulate information over seconds, is central to cognition and it is impaired in many clinical populations. However, our knowledge of the structural properties associated with individual variation in visuospatial working memory capacity is currently poor. Across two locati...
