TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Behavioral assessment and treatment of acquired visuoperceptual disorders JO - Neuropsychology review A1 - Gouvier, W. D. A1 - Cubic, B. SP - 3 EP - 28 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - Visuoperceptual deficits are common sequelae of damage to either hemisphere of the brain, but are typically more pronounced following injuries involving the right cerebral hemisphere. Common visuoperceptual disorders include visual field cuts, hemi-inattention and hemi-spatial neglect, hemi-perceptual deficits, and gaze and visual pursuit disturbances. A number of behavioral interventions have been developed to teach patients to compensate for acquired visual deficits. Studies addressing assessment and treatment issues in this area are reviewed, and future directions for research are outlined.
