| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Apple Cancellation Task (Bickerton, Samson, Williamson, & Humphreys, 2011): The measurements are performed at four measurement points: T1 = Day 1 of recruitment T2 = 2 days later (to avoid retest effects) T3 = after completion of the first intervention T4 = after completion of the second intervention Description of the task: Cross-out task on an A4 sheet where the patient should ignore apples with left or right side holes and only cross out the apples without such holes. The test contains a total of 50 apples to be crossed out. Both room-based (omitting full apples on the neglected room side) and object-based neglects symptoms (false-positive ticking of apples that are open on the left side, regardless of their position on the sheet) are assessed. 2. Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Early Rehabilitation Barthel Index (ERBI). The measurements take place at three measurement points: T1 = day 1 of recruitment T3 = after completion of the first intervention T4 = after completion of the second intervention In order to measure difficulties in everyday life, the hospital staff evaluates the patient's nursing effort on a weekly basis. | — |
