This book is unique in that it gives equal weight to the psychological and neurological
approaches to the study of cognitive deficits in patients with brain lesions. The result is a …

Background and Purpose—We sought to determine the frequency of occurrence of
contralesional unilateral spatial neglect (USN) after stroke and to investigate the effect of …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

Visuospatial neglect, a frequent consequence of unilateral (usually right-hemisphere) stroke,
is associated with poor functional recovery and in many patients is resistant to remedial …

After right posterior brain damage, patients may ignore events occurring on their left, a
condition known as unilateral neglect. Although deficits at different levels of impairment may …

• Hemineglect was assessed in 34 patients with right-hemisphere stroke using a letter-
cancellation task and a line bisection task. No significant correlation (r=. 39) was found …

According to the activation-orienting hypothesis the distribution of attention in space is
biased in the direction contralateral to the more activated hemisphere. The present …

Posner has suggested that unilateral spatial neglect could be due to a difficulty in
disengaging attention from its current focus to orient it toward the neglected half space …

Patients with unilateral hemispheric lesions were given visual target cancellation tasks. As
expected, marked contralateral and less severe ipsilateral visual inattention were observed …

Vision allows us to do many things. It enables us to perceive a world composed of
meaningful objects and events. It enables us to track those events as they take place in front …
