<P> The next range of neglect is "allocentric" neglect, where individuals neglect either their peri-personal or extrapersonal space . Peri-personal space refers to the space within the patient's normal reach, whereas extrapersonal space refers to the objects / environment beyond the body's current contact or reaching ability . Patients with allocentric neglect tend to neglect the contralesional side of individual items, regardless of where they appear with respect to the viewer . For example, In the same gap detection test mentioned above, subjects with allocentric hemispatial neglect on the right side will make errors on all areas of the page, specifically neglecting the right side of each individual item . </P> <P> This differentiation is significant because the majority of assessment measures test only for neglect within the reaching, or peri-personal, range . But a patient who passes a standard paper - and - pencil test of neglect may nonetheless ignore a left arm or not notice distant objects on the left side of the room . </P> <P> In cases of somatoparaphrenia, which may be caused by personal neglect, patients deny ownership of contralesional limbs . Sacks (1985) described a patient who fell out of bed after pushing out what he perceived to be the severed leg of a cadaver that the staff had hidden under his blanket . Patients may say things like, "I don't know whose hand that is, but they'd better get my ring off!" or, "This is a fake arm someone put on me . I sent my daughter to find my real one ." </P> <P> Most tests for neglect look for rightward or leftward errors . But patients may also neglect stimuli on one side of a horizontal or radial axis . For example, when asked to circle all the stars on a printed page, they may locate targets on both the left and right sides of the page while ignoring those across the top or bottom . </P>

Ipsilateral sensation of the right side of the body
