  • Title: Personal versus extrapersonal neglect: a group study of their dissociation using a reliable clinical test.
    Author: Beschin N, Robertson IH.
    Journal: Cortex; 1997 Jun; 33(2):379-84. PubMed ID: 9220267.
    Abstract:
    The validation of a simple quantitative clinical test of personal neglect is described in this study of 17 right brain damaged CVA patients with extrapersonal neglect, 14 without unilateral extrapersonal neglect, 13 left brain damaged CVA patients and 17 age-matched controls. The test had a high reliability and clearly differentiated neglect patients from all other groups. Furthermore the test identified a much higher incidence of personal neglect among extrapersonal neglect patients (59%) than has previously been found. Moreover this study confirms earlier findings by showing a double dissociation between personal and extrapersonal neglect. Seven patients with extrapersonal neglect showed no personal neglect while five patients showing no extrapersonal neglect did show personal neglect on this test.
