Unawareness of deficits in neuropsychological syndromes
Abstract
Damage to different regions of the brain can cause a variety of neuropsychological deficits, including specific disturbances of language, memory, perception and motor function. A significant number of brain-damaged patients are unaware of their deficits, even when they are profound and have debilitating effects on patients' performance. This article reviews clinical observations and experimental investigations concerning unawareness of deficits, considers methodological issues, and critically evaluates different interpretations of the phenomenon. An integrative theoretical framework is proposed to account for unawareness of deficits in diverse neuropsychological syndromes. Possible directions for future research are outlined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
