tactile extinction

tactile extinction Tactile extinction is a problem seen after unilateral brain damage in which a person may miss a touch on the side opposite the lesion, especially when a touch is given at the same time on the same-side limb.

Tactile extinction is a problem seen after unilateral brain damage in which a person may miss a touch on the side opposite the lesion, especially when a touch is given at the same time on the same-side limb. It reflects a higher-order disturbance of spatial attention or representation rather than simply loss of basic touch sensation.
