OBJECTIVE: To examine how organizational strategy at encoding influences visual memory performance in @entity64 @entity1 . DESIGN: Case control study. SETTING: Postacute rehabilitation hospital. @entity1 : @entity64 @entity1 with right hemisphere damage (n = 20) versus left hemisphere damage (n = 15), and @entity64 @entity1 with @entity16 (n = 11) versus subcortical damage (n = 19). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Organizational strategy scores, recall performance on the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF). RESULTS: Results demonstrated significantly greater organizational impairment and less accurate copy performance (i.e., encoding of visuospatial information on the ROCF) in the right compared to the left hemisphere group, and in the cortical relative to the subcortical group. Organizational strategy and copy accuracy scores were significantly related to each other. The absolute amount of immediate and delayed recall was significantly associated with poor organizational strategy scores. However, relative to the amount of visual information originally encoded, memory performances did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that visual @entity2414 after @entity64 may be caused by a lack of organizational strategy affecting information encoding, rather than an impairment in memory storage or retrieval.

Organizational strategy influence on visual memory performance after XXXX : cortical/subcortical and left/right hemisphere contrasts.
