A study of (a) the extent to which each of 13 MFD designs triggered production of each of four types of orientation error, and of (b) the contribution of each type to the test's diagnostic effectiveness was made. The records of 137 (among 279) adult brain-damaged and 68 (among 375) control Ss who made some type of OE revealed variations in both areas of study which are reflected in proposed optional changes in scoring standards. Horizontal and 90° rotations differentiated best between presence and absence of brain pathology, vertical reversals hardly at all, and 45° rotations held a middle position. Higher brain damage to control ratios were found for younger, better educated Ss than for those older or with fewer years of schooling. Reliability of the occurrence of OEs is reported, and their relationship to sex, age, education, and intelligence is measured.

The dual handicaps of blindness and brain damage produce a unique combination of rehabilitation problems. To examine these problems, several illustrative cases are cited. The relationship of the eye to the brain is discussed, along with several neurological syndromes. Suggestions for working with the brain damaged, blind client are given.

Topographical Orientation in Patients with Acquired Brain Damage Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate the abilities of topographical orientation in patients with acquired brain damage. The first study investigates the correlation between wayfinding in a hospital setting and various sensory and cognitive deficits as well as the predictability of navigating performance by specific tests, self-rating of orientation ability and rating by staff. The investigation included 35 neuropsychological patients as well as 9 control subjects. Several variables predicted the wayfinding performance reasonably well: memory tests like the one introduced by Muramoto and a subtest of the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test, the Map Reading Test and the rating by hospital staff. Patients with hemianopia experienced significant difficulty in the task.

Abstract: In this paper, evidence is reviewed for separable attention systems in the brain, and it is argued a) that attention may have a privileged role in mediating experience dependent plasticity in the brain and b) that at least some types of attention may be capable of rehabilitation following brain damage.
