Abstract

Unilateral Spatial Neglect is a disabling neuropsychological deficit. Patients with spatial neglect fail to detect and report events, and to perform actions in the side of space contralateral to a hemispheric cerebral lesion. Neglect is assessed by evaluating the patients' abilities in daily life activities and by psychometric tests. Computer-based, portable and Virtual Reality technologies may provide more and precise data, and be more sensitive and informative, compared to current paper-and-pencil procedures. Studies since 2010, in which such technologies have been used, are reviewed. Forty-two articles meeting inclusion criteria are categorized according to their technological approaches (computer-, graphics tablet or tablet-, virtual reality-based assessment, and other). The results are promising. However, a definite golden standard, technologically based procedure cannot be still established. Developing technologically based tests is a laborious process, which requires technical and user experience improvements as well as normative data, to increase the evidence of efficacy for clinical evaluation of at least some of the tests considered in this review.

通过计算机化和虚拟现实工具对单侧空间感缺失进行神经心理学评估：范围综述》。

单侧空间忽略是一种致残性神经心理缺陷。空间忽略症患者无法发现和报告事件，也无法在大脑半球病变的对侧空间进行操作。忽略症通过评估患者在日常生活活动中的能力和心理测试进行评估。与目前的纸笔测试程序相比，基于计算机的便携式虚拟现实技术可以提供更多更精确的数据，并且更加灵敏，信息量更大。本研究对 2010 年以来使用此类技术的研究进行了回顾。符合纳入标准的 42 篇文章根据其技术方法（计算机、图形平板电脑或平板电脑、基于虚拟现实的评估及其他）进行了分类。研究结果令人鼓舞。然而，目前还无法确定一个明确的黄金标准，即以技术为基础的程序。开发基于技术的测试是一个艰苦的过程，需要在技术和用户体验方面进行改进，并提供常模数据，以增加本综述中考虑的至少部分测试在临床评估中的有效性证据。

期刊介绍： Neuropsychology Review is a quarterly, refereed publication devoted to integrative review papers on substantive content areas in neuropsychology, with particular focus on populations with endogenous or acquired conditions affecting brain and function and on translational research providing a mechanistic understanding of clinical problems. Publication of new data is not the purview of the journal. Articles are written by international specialists in the field, discussing such complex issues as distinctive functional features of central nervous system disease and injury; challenges in early diagnosis; the impact of genes and environment on function; risk factors for functional impairment; treatment efficacy of neuropsychological rehabilitation; the role of neuroimaging, neuroelectrophysiology, and other neurometric modalities in explicating function; clinical trial design; neuropsychological function and its substrates characteristic of normal development and aging; and neuropsychological dysfunction and its substrates in neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions. The journal''s broad perspective is supported by an outstanding, multidisciplinary editorial review board guided by the aim to provide students and professionals, clinicians and researchers with scholarly articles that critically and objectively summarize and synthesize the strengths and weaknesses in the literature and propose novel hypotheses, methods of analysis, and links to other fields.
