4. The perception of disability in cerebral palsy: a cross-sectional study using the WHODAS 2.0

Author

Pizzighello, Silvia, Raggi, Alberto, Vavla, Marinela, Uliana, Marianna, Pellegri, Alda, Martinuzzi, Michela, and Martinuzzi, Andrea

Abstract

This observational study aims to describe the level of perceived disability in Cerebral Palsy (CP). We described the perception of adults by using the interviewer-administered version of the WHO disability assessment schedule (WHODAS 2.0). In case of intellectual disability (ID), the proxy-administered version was used, and a caregiver was asked to report the difficulties experienced by the patient; 199 patients were enrolled. The level of perceived disability was higher when referred to patients with ID (proxy report) than when referred to patients without ID (p < .001). For all patients, the level of perceived disability varied depending on the severity and the localization of motor impairment (both p < .001). No differences were observed based on the type of motor impairment. The perceived disability was correlated with age only for patients with no ID (p < .05). The WHODAS 2.0 may be a useful tool to explore the perception of disability in CP.

6. The Attentional Cost of Inattentional Blindness

Author

Bressan, Paola and Pizzighello, Silvia

Abstract

When our attention is engaged in a visual task, we can be blind to events which would otherwise not be missed. In three experiments, 97 out of the 165 observers performing a visual attention task failed to notice an unexpected, irrelevant object moving across the display. Surprisingly, this object significantly lowered accuracy in the primary task when, and only when, it failed to reach awareness. We suggest that an unexpected stimulus causes a state of alert that would normally generate an attentional shift; if this response is prevented by an attention-consuming task, a portion of the attentional resources remains allocated to the object. Such a portion is large enough to disturb performance, but not so large that the object can be recognized as task-irrelevant and accordingly ignored. Our findings have one counterintuitive implication: irrelevant stimuli might hamper some types of performance only when perceived subliminally.
