Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spatial neglect, often resulting from damage to one hemisphere of the brain, typically causes individuals to ignore or not attend to one side of space. If a person has spatial neglect, they would likely ignore aspects of their environment on the opposite side of the brain damage. For example, if the right hemisphere is damaged, they might ignore the left side of space. Therefore, attending only to people who approach from the person's left side (A) does not align with the typical manifestations of spatial neglect, as this would suggest they are ignoring the right side, which is less common and not consistent with the other examples provided. The other options (B, C, D) are classic examples of behaviors exhibited by someone with spatial neglect, typically neglecting the left side if the right hemisphere is damaged.
