Left neglect dyslexia: Perseveration and reading error types

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

Right-brain-damaged patients may show a reading disorder termed neglect dyslexia. Patients with left neglect dyslexia omit letters on the left-hand-side (the beginning, when reading left-to-right) part of the letter string, substitute them with other lette ...

Combining language and space: Sentence bisection in unilateral spatial neglect

Giuseppe Vallar

In line bisection right-brain-damaged patients with left spatial neglect show a rightward deviation, with respect to the line's physical center. In word bisection ortho-phonological features of the stimulus' final (right-sided) part modulate performance of ...

Visual and spatial modulation of tactile extinction: behavioural and electrophysiological evidence
