Abstract:
The neglect syndrome is a cluster of neurologic symptoms commonly found after right hemisphere damage. This study investigates the degree of association between the main components in a representative sample of 69 patients at 2 to 3 days poststroke. Despite evidence of statistically significant associations between components, many dissociations were found, indicating that neglect is a highly heterogeneous condition.
