Shape, size and relative position in space perception were tested in 17 right brain damaged (RBD) patients with neglect symptoms, 10 RBD patients without neglect and 11 controls. Simultaneous pair comparison task in free vision was used. Two arrangements of the visual display were used: side by side and top-bottom. Neglect patients' performance was comparable to RBD and controls in the shape and size test, but was below the other groups in the relative space position test. The selective failure of neglect patients in the position task did not depend on the spatial arrangement of the visual display, which may indicate a general perceptual deficit, rather than a deficit restricted to the neglect hemifield.

Abstract
Shape, size and relative position in space perception were tested in 17 right brain damaged (RBD) patients with neglect symptoms, 10 RBD patients without neglect and 11 controls. Simultaneous pair comparison task in free vision was used. Two arrangements of the visual display were used: side by side and top-bottom. Neglect patients' performance was comparable to RBD and controls in the shape and size test, but was below the other groups in the relative space position test. The selective failure of neglect patients in the position task did not depend on the spatial arrangement of the visual display, which may indicate a general perceptual deficit, rather than a deficit restricted to the neglect hemifield.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
