Right brain-damaged patients performed a confrontation naming task. Pictures were tachistoscopically presented to the right visual field and selected for their high degree of canonicity and name agreement measured in control subjects. Compared to controls, patients exhibited significant errors. Misnamings were mainly perceptual, i.e., visual-semantic or purely visual errors. No evidence of pure semantic error was found. Half of visual-semantic misnamings referred to objects of a different size (scale error) within the correct semantic field. Misnamings are tentatively attributed to a disturbance of the visual-imagistic automatic encoding process at the level of the pictorial data store.

The assessment of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) primarily relies on paper-and-pencil tests, which do not fully represent daily life difficulties. To address this limitation, ecological tests, like the Baking Tray Test (BTT), have been developed. However, the original BTT identifies the presence of USN without providing information on its severity.

The aim of this work was to better understand the organization of conceptual tool knowledge following stroke. We explored specifically the link between manipulation kinematics and manipulation hand posture; and the link between manipulation kinematics and function relations in left brain-damaged (n = 30) and right brain-damaged (n = 30) patients. We examined the performance of brain-damaged patients in conceptual tool tasks using neuropsychological dissociations and disconnectome symptom mapping.

Somatosensory tactile experience is a key aspect of our interaction with the environment. It is involved in object manipulation, in the planning and control of actions and, in its affective components, in the relationships with other individuals. It is also a foundational component of body awareness.

Objective: The Clock Drawing Test (CDT) is a widely used test for cognitive screening as its execution taps into a large number of cognitive functions. Because of the involvement of visuospatial abilities, the CDT is also commonly used to assess hemispatial neglect. In the present study, we introduce a new quantitative scoring method for the CDT that aims to measure the use of space for each half of the clock face and asymmetries of space use.
