Abstract text:	The scientific study of attention is a relatively new and rapidly developing field. Insights from this work are already influencing clinical practice in terms of improved assessment and rehabilitation of people with brain injuries. After briefly introducing some conceptual issues, a major section of this chapter concerns one of the most striking and surprisingly common acquired disorders of attention, unilateral spatial neglect. Six very different approaches to ameliorating this condition are considered, including recent results using prism lens adaptation. In the second section, the chapter focuses on difficulties in non-spatial attention faced by adults who have suffered a brain injury. Disorders of attention are associated with slowed recovery and reduced outcome. It is clear that in addition to any direct impediment to everyday activities, problems at this level can compromise the useful expression/recovery of other capacities. Although theory, assessment and rehabilitation in this important clinical area are at an early stage, the reviewed evidence provides some optimistic pointers for future development.

Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
