Cognitive Improvement After Microsurgical Revascularization For The Treatment Of Moyamoya Disease, Thais Coutinho Varzoni
Cognitive Improvement After Microsurgical Revascularization For The Treatment Of Moyamoya Disease, Thais Coutinho Varzoni
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Moyamoya disease is a rare entity characterized by progressive narrowing of intracranial blood vessels. In most cases, Moyamoya does not respond well to medical therapy and often leads to surgical revascularization. The physiological benefits of the revascularization surgery for Moyamoya patients have been well documented, yet the effects of surgery on cognitive skills and abilities are far less studied. Participants in the current study were 33 patients, 24 to 85 years of age, who underwent revascularization surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. All patients underwent a physical and cognitive preoperative evaluation, where speech, memory, and intellectual processes were …

The Effect Of Music Familiarity On Driving: A Simulated Study Of The Impact Of Music Familiarity Under Different Driving Conditions, Zachary N. Jimison
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Music is one of the most popular activities while driving. Previous research on music while driving has been mixed, with some researchers finding music to be a distractor and some research finding music to be facilitative to driving performance. The current study was designed to determine if familiarity with the music might explain the difference found between self-selected and experimenter-selected music, and whether the difficulty of the driving conditions affected music’s relationship to driving performance. One hundred and sixty-five University students participated in a driving simulation both with music and without music. Under the “with music” condition, participants were randomly …
