title: [Tactile and visual neglect. Preliminary study of 4 patients].
abstract: A battery of tactile tests for the study of unilateral neglect is presented with the purpose of comparing the tactile modality to the visual modality. This was applied in 4 patients with right hemisphere lesions. In 3 patients, there was evidence of neglect in both modalities with qualitatively identical anomalies. The function of spatial manipulation involved in the tasks is stressed. In the cases where both modalities were involved a supramodal hemispatial disturbance is assumed.
