Anosognosia for hemiplegia is a multifaceted syndrome where implicit forms of awareness may be spared. Among these, emergent awareness has been described as the incrising of verbal acknowledgment of deficits after attempting to act. We investigsted whether the request to perform potentially dangerous actions may influence patients' awareness. The results confirm the role of emergent awareness and bring evidence of emotional stimuli in improving anosognosia for hemiplegia.

Abstract
Anosognosia for hemiplegia is a multifaceted syndrome where implicit forms of awareness may be spared. Among these, emergent awareness has been described as the incrising of verbal acknowledgment of deficits after attempting to act. We investigsted whether the request to perform potentially dangerous actions may influence patients' awareness. The results confirm the role of emergent awareness and bring evidence of emotional stimuli in improving anosognosia for hemiplegia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
