Spatial remapping deficits in patients with right parietal lesions

The integrity of spatial remapping as a prerequisite for establishing a spatio-temporal contingency between successive visual images is indicated e.g. by location-based facilitatory and inhibitory priming in visual pop-out search (Maljkovic & Nakayama, 1996). It has been suggested that spatial remapping deficits occur in patients with parietal lesions, and furthermore that these deficits might contribute to visual search impairments exhibited by these patients (Pisella & Mattingley, 2004). To analyse spatial remapping abilities in patients with right-hemispheric lesions with (PAR) and without parietal involvemen…
