Evaluation of left visuospatial neglect: Norms and discrimination power of two tests.

Abstract: 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.

“…Thus a total of 13 participants with HH (6 with right HH) were included in analyses. None had visual neglect (Bells test 20 and Schenkenberg Line Bisection tests 21 ) or significant cognitive decline ( ‡24 on Mini Mental State Examination 22 ). All had HH of at least 4 months duration and visual acuity of 20/30 or better in each eye.…”

“…Four cancellation tests were included, namely Albert's Line Cancellation test with a cut-off of two omissions (Halligan & Marshall, 1989;Vanier et al, 1990) (Weintraub & Mesulam, 1988) with a cut-off of three omissions, the Search for Os, which is not publicly available but clinically widely used in The Netherlands (cut-off of three omissions) and the Bells test with a cut-off of four omissions (Gauthier, Dehaut, & Joanette, 1989;Vanier et al, 1990). The other two tasks in the neglect battery were the Line Bisection test, which was scored as a function of omitted lines (cut-off = 2) (Schenkenberg, Bradford, & Ajax, 1980;Soukup, Harrell, & Clark, 1994;Van Deusen, 1984) and the Representational Drawing test (cut-off = 2) (Wilson, Cockburn, & Halligan, 1987).…”

“…Two or more omissions in crossing out on the three left (18 lines) or right columns (18 lines) in a non-time constrained test indicate nonnormality [43]. The letter cancellation task (LetCcl) from the Behavioural Inattention Test (BIT) battery contains five rows of 34 letters of which 40% are targets (E, R) to cancel out without a time limit [16].…”
