Abstract:
This paper describes a new neglect test, where patients are asked to spread out 16 cubes as evenly as possible over a 75 × 100 cm board "as if they were buns on a baking tray". A consecutive series of 52 brain-damaged patients and 30 control subjects were examined with the new test as well as with several commonly used neglect tests. The baking tray task proved to be a quick and yet sensitive test, suitable for screening purposes and longitudinal studies.
