Using a quantitative measure, we analyzed the relationship between visuospatial and representational neglect in right- and left-brain-damaged patients and found signs of representational neglect only in right-brain-damaged patients. Although representational neglect was always associated with visuospatial neglect, suggesting that the two forms share a common underlying mechanism, the most frequent finding in right-brain--damaged patients was that of visuospatial neglect in isolation. A strong influence of the phenomenon of attentional attraction toward space ipsilateral to the lesion in visuospatial, as opposed to imaginal, tasks can account for this finding.
我们采用定量测量方法，分析了右脑和左脑损伤患者的视觉空间忽视与表象忽视之间的关系，结果发现仅在右脑损伤患者中存在表象忽视迹象。尽管表象忽视总是与视觉空间忽视相关联，这表明两种形式共享一个共同的潜在机制，但在右脑损伤患者中最常见的发现是单独出现的视觉空间忽视。在视觉空间任务中，与想象任务相反，注意力对损伤同侧空间的吸引现象产生了强烈影响，这可以解释这一发现。
