Abstract (summary)
In a recent opinion paper we argued that prism adaptation (PA) primarily influences motor behaviors and spatial attention in neglect, but may have very little influence on perceptual biases (Striemer and Danckert, 2010b). Furthermore, we also suggested that the effects of PA on motor behaviors and spatial attention in neglect may arise via interactions with the dorsal “vision for action” pathway (Milner and Goodale, 2006), and the “dorsal attention network” that is important for allocating attention to specific locations in space (Corbetta and Shulman, 2002). Thus, we view alterations in shifts of attention following PA as being closely related to changes in motor behaviors (e.g., eye movements) following PA (i.e., the premotor theory of attention; Rizzolatti et al., 1987).
