It’s called ‘neglect’, not meaning neglect in the way that it’s most commonly used, but meaning that people seem to neglect to pay attention to one 49 Neuropsychological Rehabilitation side of space, usually the left. Using the analogy of the radar, it’s as if the radar stops its sweep before it gets to the left-hand side of space, so that it seems as if the person is ignoring that side of the world (Halligan & Marshall, 1993).

32 Introduction to the Brain and Brain Injury What can cause injury? 14 The term ‘acquired brain injury’ covers a range of causes, and tends to cover any process or experience that causes damage to the brain. There are a number of ways that this can happen and we’ll run through these quickly. One major cause is head injury, involving some sort of blow to, or sudden movement of, the head. Common causes include road traffic accidents, sports injuries, falls and assaults. One estimate is that every year one million people in Britain attend hospital having had a head injury (Powell, 1994).

Thinking briefly about memory, we know that the first part of making a memory is getting the information into the brain in the first place. If you’ve missed out a detail because your mind was wandering, then it doesn’t matter how good your memory is at storing information or retrieving it when you want it, you won’t be able to remember it because it was never paid attention to so it never ‘went in’ in the first place.
