Asymmetry in the Collision Judgments of People With Homonymous Field Defects and Left Hemispatial Neglect

摘要

PURPOSE. Although the impact of homonymous visual field defects (HFDs) on mobility has been investigated previously, the emphasis has been on obstacle detection. Relatively little is known about HFD patients' ability to judge collisions once an obstacle is detected. We investigated this using a walking simulator.
