[Endogenous and Exogenous Attention in Alzheimer Type of Dementia: Effect of Target Position].

CONCLUSION: AD causes impairment of EnA and ExA. Faster reactions by AD participants to the target on the left in VT+s and more accurate reactions to the target on the left in VT-s are in agreement with reports in the literature on the lateralization of visual-spatial attention (VSA) in the right hemisphere. In this study, also in agreement with previous reports, lateralization in AD was noted in favour of the stimuli on the left in ExA. PMID: 31613976 [PubMed - in process]
