Abstract
â¶ Contralesional loss of awareness following stroke is highly variable. â¶ Severe contralesional unawareness under dual-task conditions emerged for a group of right brain damaged patients apparently unimpaired at paper and pencil tests. â¶ A striking contralesional bias emerged in a left brain damaged patient also. â¶ The degree of impairment for contralesional space awareness depends on the quantity of attentional resources available for task performance. â¶ Apparently spared contralesional awareness may simply reflect the availability of resources that are just sufficient to perform a single-task.
