Unilateral visual neglect overcome by cues implicit in stimulus arrays.
The case of a man with a right hemisphere lesion and with evidence of left-sided visuospatial neglect is reported. On a variety of verbal and nonverbal tasks his performance was significantly modified by information implicit in stimulus configurations. Neglect deficits were present on tests involving spatially distinct or meaningless stimulus arrays but almost absent when stimuli were continuou...
متن کاملGrouping influences in unilateral visual neglect.
Effects of grouping on unilateral neglect were investigated in 8 neurological patients with right hemisphere damage. It is well documented that arranging items to form a group spanning the midline decreases the magnitude of neglect. In the present study we examined how clusters of groups within the left or right visual field affect neglect and whether isolated groups within the neglected field ...
متن کاملThe imbalance of oculomotor capture in unilateral visual neglect.
Visual neglect has been associated with an imbalance in the level of activity in the saccadic system: activity in the contralesional field is suppressed, which makes target selection unlikely. We recorded eye movements of a patient with hemispatial neglect and a group of healthy participants during an oculomotor distractor paradigm. Results showed that the interfering effects of a distractor we...
متن کاملImpaired stimulus-driven orienting of attention and preserved goal-directed orienting of attention in unilateral visual neglect.
Neglect patients do not respond to stimuli presented on the side of space contralateral to the side of their brain lesions, indicating deficits to attentional or representational mechanisms. We describe a patient who shows a left neglect in normal reading and line bisection but an intact ability to locate the left end of the stimulus. Further tests showed that his seemingly intact ability to se...
متن کاملThe influence of stimulus properties on visual neglect.
Twenty five patients with right cerebral hemisphere damage and neglect participated in a series of bisection experiments. As expected, long lines were bisected to the right of true midpoint. By contrast, large circles and long white paper strips were bisected accurately, or with leftward errors. Small objects were less sensitive to stimulus properties: short lines and paper strips, and small ci...
