Q

Differences between change blindness and inattentional blindness

A

Memory plays a role in change blindness but not inattentional blindness, and change blindness can occur even if finding the change is the actual task but inattentional blindness typically occurs when observer is performing another task

16
Q

Two major attention network

A

Dorsal attention network and Ventral attention network

17
Q

Dorsal attention network main components

A

Frontal eye field and intraparietal sulcus

18
Q

Ventral attention network main components

A

Ventral frontal cortex and temporoparietal junction

19
Q

Dorsal attention network roles

A

Top down control, goal driven orienting, left and right hemisphere

20
Q

Ventral attention network

A

Bottom up control, stimulus driven, mainly right hemisphere

21
Q

Spatial neglect is caused by

A

A damage to the ventral attention network

22
Q

Spatial neglect is almost always on

A

The left side

23
Q

Spatial neglect patients are usually

A

Unaware of deficit

24
Q

Extinction

A

Typically seen in recovering patients, one stimulus on neglected side is perceived and two stimuli on non neglected side is perceived

25
Q

Extinction suggests that

A

Spatial neglect is not a visual deficit but an attentional deficit

26
Q

Neglect should be considered __ not a perceptual deficit

A

Attentional

27
Q

Neglect can affect _____ as well as perception of space

A

Imagination

28
Q

Spatial neglect is

A

Quite frequent, 40% of patients with right hemisphere lesions

29
Q

In about 10% of patients, ____ ______ even after more than 6 months

A

Severe deficits

30
Q

In clinical setting, ____ _____ is often not correctly diagnosed

A

Spatial neglect

31
Q

If spatial neglect is not diagnosed,

A

There are no rehabilitative efforts

32
Q

Ideally there is a standardized assessment for spatial neglect

A

By neuropsychologists
