ApperceptiveAgnosia is the visual disorder that renders a person unable to recognize objects. It is also known as visual space agnosia . Distinction between shapes is difficult, although other aspects of Visual perception vision , such as ability to see detail and colour, remain intact. Recognition of, copying and discriminating between visual stimuli, even of different shapes, is problematic. Apperceptive agnosics cannot complete an object matching task. Because they are unable to recognize even simple shapes, Apperceptiveagnosia is considered a problem in the early part of the visual processing system. As contrasted with patients diagnosed Associative agnosia , who are able to recognize simple shapes and even copy complex shapes drawing of an anchor, for example but are unable to recognize what an object is. In both cases, identification of objects is entirely based on inferences made by the person based on the colour, size, social, or contextual cues. A variant of apperceptiveagnosia is the inability to recognize objects outside of their normal rotation or orientation.

This is distinct from blindness , which is a lack of sensory input to the brain due to damage to the human eye eye , optic nerve , or primary visual systems in the brain such as the optic radiations or primary visual cortex.

Unreferenced date December 2009 People with associative agnosia fail in assigning meaning to an object, animal or building that they can see clearly. Most cases have injury to the Occipital lobe occipital and temporal lobe temporal lobes and the critical site of injury appears to be in the left occipital temporal region, often with involvement of the splenium of the corpus callosum . The clinical definition of the disorder is when an affected person is able to copy draw things that they cannot recognize. The disorder appears to be very uncommon in a pure or uncomplicated form and is usually accompanied by other complex neuropsychological problems such as impaired language or memory . The affected individual may not realize that they have a visual problem and may complain of becoming clumsy or muddled when performing familiar tasks such as setting the table or simple DIY. There has been debate about whether the fundamental problem in associative agnosia implicates Higher order visual perception perhaps in integrating the parts of an object into a structured whole A disconnection syndrome a failure of linking vision and perception with language Damage to a modality specific meaning process semantic system . Any or all of these interpretations may be appropriate for an individual patient but the same explanation will not necessarily work for all. Evidence in favor of the semantic hypothesis can be inferred from studies showing that affected people can often show partial knowledge of the things they cannot recognize such as knowing that an object is a container but not being able to determine whether it is a jug or a mug. They may also have difficulties in deciding whether two different visual forms visual synonyms are the same for example, they may be unable to determine that a wine glass and a tumbler are more alike than a tumbler and a vase.

Color agnosia from the Greek agn sia , ignorance or non knowledge , is a medical or psychological condition that prevents a person from correctly associate hue names with common objects. the sufferer retains the ability of distinguishing hues. It is a specific form of agnosia and generally results from damage to the visual cortex , often in V4 as opposed to most other kinds of color blindness, which stem from problems with the photoreceptor cell s . Notes Color agnosia is different than color anomia , a condition in which a person can distinguish between colors but cannot connect those colors to their names. Failure to investigate color agnosia may lead to late diagnosis of brain cancer.

Auditory agnosia is a form of agnosia that manifests primarily in the inability to recognize or differentiate between sounds . It is not a defect of the ear, but a neurological inability of the brain to process what the sound means. Persons with auditory agnosia can physically hear the sounds and describe them using unrelated terms, but are unable to recognize them. They might describe the sound of some environmental sounds, such as a motor starting, as resembling a lion roaring, but would not be able to associate the sound with car or engine , nor would they say that it was a lion creating the noise. ref Human Neuropsychology. Neil Martin. Published by Prentice Hall, 2006. ISBN 0131974521, 9780131974524 ref Types of auditory agnosia There are three primary distinctions of auditory agnosia.

However, without integration from more local form elements, these global perceptual descriptions will be unelaborated. The patients don t have enough information to be able to accurately identify objects.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Intermetamorphosis is a delusional misidentification syndrome , related to agnosia . The main symptom is that a patient confuses the identities of familiar people or feels that they are being mistaken for someone else. The disorder is usually Comorbidity comorbid with neurological disorder s or mental disorder s. An example from medical literature is a man who was diagnosed with Alzheimer s disease . After some time he mistook his wife for his deceased mother and later for his sister. As an explanation, he stated that he had never been married or that his wife had left him. Later he mistook his son for his brother and his daughter for another sister. Visual agnosia or prosopagnosia were not diagnosed, as the misidentification also took place during phone calls. On several occasions he mistook the hospital for the church he used to go to. The disorder was first described in 1932 by P. Courbon and J. Tusques Illusions d interm tamorphose et de la charme .

Martha Farah is a cognitive neuroscience researcher at the University of Pennsylvania . She has worked on an unusually wide range of topics the citation for her lifetime achievement award from the Association for Psychological Science states that Her studies on the topics of mental imagery, face recognition, semantic memory, reading, attention, and executive functioning have become classics in the field. Farah has undergraduate degrees in Metallurgy and Philosophy from MIT, and a doctorate in Psychology from Harvard University. She has taught at Carnegie Mellon University and at the University of Pennsylvania, where she is now Walter H. Annenberg Professor of Natural Sciences and Director of the Center for Neuroscience & Society. Early work Farah s early work focused on the neural bases of vision and memory. In her 1990 book, Visual Agnosia Disorders of Object Recognition and What They Tell Us about Normal Vision MIT Press , she framed many of the questions about visual recognition that the next two decades of cognitive neuroscience research addressed. These questions include whether the human brain uses a general purpose pattern recognition system for all classes of visual object or whether there is specialization for face recognition and or printed word recognition, and whether semantic memory knowledge is organized in the brain by category e.g., living vs nonliving things or modality e.g. visual vs motoric information . Her research revealed a striking degree of division of labor, with specialized systems for a various categories of stimuli and types of information, and was summarized in The Cognitive Neuroscience of Vision Wiley Blackwell, 2000 and in the second edition of Visual Agnosia MIT Press, 2004 . Farah was also among the first information processing psychologists to use the behavior of neurological patients to test cognitive theories, starting in the early 1980 s. At this time, cognition was understood by analogy with computers mind is to brain as softw ... more details
