Document Summary
1: 1. 3 thru 1. 6, 1. 10, 1. 15, 1. 18: unilateral neglect. People with unilateral neglect also demonstrate their unawareness of the left half of things when they draw pictures. They names the buildings on the east (to their right)- they knew all of the buildings and their locations, but they visualized them only when the buildings were located in the right side of their (imaginary) visual field. 2 major symptoms of unilateral neglect: neglect of left half of things in the environment and neglect of half of one"s own body. Most people with unilateral neglect show both types of symptoms- produced by damage to slightly different regions of the brain: perception of self. Figure 1. 6: the rubber hand illusion: if the subject"s hidden left hand and the visible rubber hand are stroked synchronously in the same direction, the subject will come to experience the artificial hand as his or her own.
