Core Tip

Core Tip: This study attempted to standardize the apple cancellation test for differential diagnosis of neglect in Korea. As a result, various cut-off scores are presented to establish criteria for diagnosing egocentric and allocentric neglect. In addition, the appropriate time to perform the test according to age and education level is also presented. We hope that this study will be useful for future studies.
