  • Picture comparison33: three vertically aligned pairs of drawings with left sided differences and three pairs of drawings with right sided differences were presented on a horizontally oriented DIN A4 sheet. Each neglected left sided but detected right sided difference was scored as one (nmax= 3). Baking tray task34: patients have to place 16 identical items as evenly as possible on a test sheet (DIN A 4). Reported is the number of items distributed within each half of the sheet. Letter cancellation35: number of detected target letters on each half of the test sheet (nmax= 30 on either side). Copying task: the patients were asked to copy a complex multiobject scene consisting of four elements (a fence, a car, a house, and a tree) two in each half of a horizontally oriented DIN A4 paper: −= omission of at least one whole object; (−), omission of at least one left sided feature of a figure; += copying without omissions; NA=task not administered.
