mesulam symbol cancellation test
Reports have affirmed that healthy individuals scanned the page in an organized fashion, following rows or columns even when target arrays were disorganized (Gauthier, Dehaut, & Joanette, 1989; Weintraub & Mesulam, 1988). Mesulam's symbol cancellation test provides a measure of attention, organization and neglect (Mesulam, 1985). It is composed by four test forms, consisting of random and structured arrays of verbal and nonverbal stimuli. Each sheet of paper contains 60 targets, with 15 targets in each quadrant.
