Unilateral neglect and space constancy during passive locomotion.

Full Abstract

Space constancy was investigated in seven blindfolded left-neglect patients by driving them along routes involving one or two, left or right, 90 degrees turns. At the end of each route patients had to indicate its starting point while still blindfolded. On average, no considerable left/right differences were found in pointing accuracy. The entailments of this finding for the understanding of neglect phenomena are briefly discussed.
