顶叶损伤、视觉忽视与注意的认知神经科学

Parietal Lobe Damage, Visual Neglect, and Cognitive Neuroscience of Visual Attention

注意的认知与神经机制是当前认知神经科学的一个中心课题 .顶叶损伤可导致视觉忽视 .对视觉忽视进行认知神经心理学角度的系统研究 ,不仅能为检验认知心理学有关注意的一般理论提供证据 ,从而限制这些理论 ,而且有助于揭示视觉注意的神经机制 .

A central issue of current cognitive neuroscience is the cognitive and neural mechanisms of attention. One kind of attention deficits, labeled with visual neglect, can appear after parietal lobe damage. Cognitive neuropsychological studies of visual neglect have provided the fascinating test case for many of the central questions in cognitive psychology of attention. These studies have also contributed to the understanding of neural mechanisms of visual attention.
