Tasks based on visuomotor scanning and tactile exploration were used to quantitate neglect behavior in patients with unilateral brain damage and in normal control subjects. The results confirm previous observations that contralateral neglect is markedly more severe following right-hemisphere injury and that it is independent of the modality of sensory input or motor output. In addition, patients with right-hemisphere injury also showed multimodal neglect for targets in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the brain lesion. The emergence of both contralateral and ipsilateral neglect in these patients strongly supports a model of right-hemispheric dominance for the distribution of attention within the extrapersonal space.
基于视觉运动扫描和触觉探索的任务被用于量化单侧脑损伤患者和正常对照受试者的忽视行为。结果证实了先前的观察结果，即右侧半球损伤后对侧忽视明显更严重，且其与感觉输入或运动输出的模式无关。此外，右侧半球损伤的患者对脑损伤同侧半球的目标也表现出多模式忽视。这些患者中对侧和同侧忽视的出现有力地支持了一种关于在个人空间外注意力分配的右半球优势模型。
