title: Further evidence for asymmetry of point localization in normals and unilateral brain damaged patients.
abstract: The properties of errors made by normals and unilateral brain damaged patients in localizing points in each half of a plane have been further investigated. A lesion of either hemisphere affects specifically the performance in the left half of the plane, where controls attain the highest degree of constancy. Consideration of the orientation of pathologic vectors may contribute to differentiation between damage of the two hemispheres.
