Two cancellation tests, Albert's Test and a new test with distractors, the Bells Test, which are both used for the evaluation of unilateral visuospatial neglect, were applied to 40 neurologically normal adults and 47 right CVA patients, 4-12 weeks after stroke. Norms are proposed for both tests. Results show that the Bells Test has greater discrimination power than Albert's Test. In both tasks, a left-to-right gradient of neglect is found in patients who show neglect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
