The authors of this paper first summarize some of the theoretical frames put forward to account for allesthesia. Then, pointing performances in a case of visual allesthesia is reported; unexpectedly, pointing behavior for identical targets was different according to hand. The most salient feature was that a same visual target elicited relatively short RTs with adequate pointing using the left hand versus much longer reaction times with allesthesic pointing using the right hand. Discussion is focused on the presented theoretical frames. In view of the results, authors are led to hypothesize that, in sensorimotor cerebral organization, some aspects of signal processing are dependent upon some premotor aspects of response elaboration.
本文作者首先总结了一些为解释异感症而提出的理论框架。然后,报告了一例视觉异感症患者的指向行为;出乎意料的是,对于相同目标的指向行为因手的不同而有所差异。最显著的特征是,同一个视觉目标,左手进行适当指向时反应时间相对较短,而右手进行异感指向时反应时间则长得多。讨论聚焦于所提出的理论框架。鉴于这些结果,作者们推测,在感觉运动脑组织结构中,信号处理的某些方面依赖于反应细化的一些运动前方面。
