title: Processing of palindromes in neglect dyslexia.
abstract: We report an investigation into the processing of symmetrical lexical stimuli by a patient with moderate visual neglect. This subject's neglect dyslexia was significantly less pronounced when presented with symmetrical lexical stimuli (palindromes) than with matched non-symmetrical words. We discuss the hypothesis that symmetry facilitates processing.
