摘要

When required to set the endpoints of an imaginary horizontal line of a given length on the basis of its midpoint printed on a sheet of paper, left neglect patients more frequently misplaced endpoints leftwards. Through giving rise to the very same disproportion usually found with these patients on canonical line bisection tasks, this behaviour cannot be accommodated by current explanations of unilateral neglect. When the task was executed during leftward optokinetic stimulation (OKS), a manoeuver known temporarily to improve neglect symptoms, the disproportion increased instead of vanishing. We therefore suggest the unilateral neglect is a manifestation of a disorder primarily implying a horizontal anisometry of space representation and that manipulations such as OKS may remove neglect without normalizing the representational medium itself.
