In the present study, we investigated the long-term outcomes and intensity of memory interventions in acquired (traumatic brain injury [TBI] and non-TBI) brain-damaged patients who participated in an intensive cognitive rehabilitation program and either suffered or did not suffer from memory impairments.

Purpose: To explore efficacy of the "Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (ROCF) tracing task" as a new test to detect unilateral spatial neglect (USN).
Methods: Subjects were 40 healthy control (HC) and 20 right brain-damaged patients with (USN + , n = 10) or without USN (USN - , n = 10). After the ROCF copying task, the tracing task was performed under conditions that did not leave any tracing lines on the sample figure.

Altitudinal neglect is an atypical form of spatial neglect where brain-damaged patients neglect the lower, or sometimes the upper, part of the space. Our understanding of this phenomena is limited, with unknown occurrence across different reference frames, such as distance (peripersonal vs. extrapersonal) and system of reference (egocentric vs.
