Allocentric But Not Egocentric Pseudoneglect of Peripersonal Space

Conclusions: Our results support the postulate that left pseudoneglect is an allocentric phenomenon related to a hemispheric asymmetry in computing allocentric distances. The participants underestimated 2 and 3 feet, but overestimated 1 foot. This dichotomy may relate to using focused versus distributed attention. The brain mechanisms leading to these asymmetries remain to be determined.
