CUEING IN A CASE OF NEGLECT - MODALITY AND AUTOMATICITY EFFECTS

We report the effects of different forms of cue on a patient who shows left neglect when processing single objects and right neglect when ad dressing separate actions to independent objects (Riddoch et al., this issue). Visual cues were found to reduce neglect within single object s but not between separate objects; motor cues reduced neglect between separate objects but not within single objects. We discuss the releva nce of these independent cueing effects for understanding the nature o f the spatial deficit within this patient, and for attempts to rehabil itate neglect by cueing.
