Abstract
Space constancy was investigated in seven blindfolded left-neglect pat ients by driving them along routes involving one or two, left or right , 90 degrees turns. At the end of each route patients had to indicate its starting point while still blindfolded. On average, no considerabl e left/right differences were found in pointing accuracy. The entailme nts of this finding for the understanding of neglect phenomena are bri efly discussed.
