Right parietal lesions, unilateral spatial neglect, and the egocentric frame of reference

Anthony Marcel, Christian Dobel, 2005 “Structured perceptual input imposes an egocentric frame of reference—pointing, imagery, and spatial self-consciousness” Perception 34 429 – 451 The last sentence of paragraph 3 on page 443 reads: (iv) “What is the angle between your arms or draw the shape made by your two arms”. It should read: (iv) “What is the angle between your arms? Or draw the shape made by your two arms.” The heading of column 6 of table 1 on page 444 reads: Number/total subjects showing confusion It should read: Number/total number of subjects showing confusion

Green Background

AbstractWe used desk-based tasks to evaluate and clarify the effects of colour lightness differences (Liebmann effect) in patients with left unilateral spatial neglect (USN) following stroke. Participants were 30 adults with USN (16 men and 14 women; mean age = 72.3 years, SD = 8.9 years). They took the ‘Letter Cancellation Test’ of the Japanese version of the Behavioral Inattention Test using two types of paper: black letters with a yellow background (‘black on yellow’) and red letters with a green background (‘red on green’). They also took the Line Bisection Test and their laterality index (LI) was also determined. Paired t-tests were computed comparing the LI by colour displays. LI was higher for ‘black on yellow’ than for ‘red on green’ in patients with mild left USN. However, LI for ‘red on green’ was higher in patients with severe left USN. Colour lightness differences are likely on the left side in patients with relatively mild left USN, but not in those with severe left USN.
