Cognitive and Neural Bases of Spatial Neglect

Zusatztext This edited book represents the state of the art in research on spatial neglect and related disorders . . . The contributors to this book, all leading clinicians and researchers in the field, provide illuminating and scholarly accounts of recent research on the cognitive and neural bases for spatial neglect . . . The book will be a valuable reference source for clinicians, particularly those working with stroke patients in rehabilitation settings where neglect can be a formidable barrier to effective therapy. It will also prove indispensable for students and researchers who are seeking an up to date account of experimental and theoretical advances in spatial neglect. Klappentext Spatial neglect is a disorder of space-related behaviour. As well as being a fascinating clinical phenomenon, the study of spatial neglect helps us to understand normal mechanisms of directing and maintaining spatial attention. The Cognitive and Neural Bases of Spatial Neglect provides an overview of this wide-ranging field of scientific endeavour, providing a cohesive synthesis of the most recent observations and results by a team of internationalexperts. Zusammenfassung Spatial neglect is a disorder of space-related behaviour.
