Spatial neglect subtype	Key behaviors demonstrating spatial neglect	Frequently observed functional impairmentsb
Where, perceptual-attentional awareness 45	Extinction to double simultaneous stimulation, decreased vigilance in left body space	Accidents due to failure to respond to left-sided events; failure to respond in social interaction; difficulty in eating entire meal
Where, representational imagery 46	Visual imagery incomplete on left, neglect dyslexia, right bias on mental number line	Poor environmental navigation; illusions, difficulty recognizing objects especially under unfamiliar conditions; difficulty reading or completing mathematical operations accurately for work, financial activities
