Dissociating spatial and spatiotemporal aspects of navigation ability in chronic stroke patients.

Conclusions: Our findings showed that spatial and spatiotemporal performance was closely associated in most patients. Nonetheless, the study also provided partial support for the notion of separate space- and time-based processing mechanisms in the context of navigation. This distinction is of particular relevance to the investigation into the cognitive structure underlying navigation behavior. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
