Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemineglect is caused by an inability to disengage attention from a stimulus on the nonneglected side. This means that individuals with hemineglect tend to ignore or forget about the left or right side of their visual world, depending on whether the damage is on the right or left hemisphere of the brain. They may fail to notice objects, people, or events on that side of space, even when they are pointed out to them. They may also neglect to dress or groom one side of their body. However, this is not due to a perceptual deficit or a lack of awareness of the left side itself, but rather to a biased attentional program that favors the right side.
