Humans are heavily reliant on vision for spatial orientation and environmental interaction. When portion of the brain mediating visuospatial and visuoperceptual function are injured, significant disability results.
Visuospatial functioning is supported in the brain by widely distributed neural networked involving parietal, temporal or occipital anatomic. The visuospatial processing is a broad cognitive process that encompasses many subcomponents. Many of the visuospatial subcomponents involve other cognitive process such as attention, sensory-motor, memory and executive functions.
Men are superior in visuospatial skills because their right hemispheres are specialized for visuospatial cognitive processing.
It is not surprising that visuospatial skills are often impaired in diseases with movement disorders – an impairment that depends both in the type and on the stage of the disease in question.
It is well established that visuospatial skills are more sensitive to the effects of aging than are verbal ones.
Visuospatial is increasing during childhood peak in young adulthood, and decline with age.
Visuospatial abnormalities are among the most common and the most controversial neuropsychological deficits reported in Parkinson Disease.
