21. Visual Agnosia An Examination of Visual agnosia. Visual agnosia is a neurological disorder characterizedby the inability to recognize familiar objects (Farah, 1990). http://hubel.sfasu.edu/courseinfo/SL02/visual_agnosia.htm

An Examination of Visual Agnosia By Candace N. Palmer Stephen F. Austin State University Spring 2002 Return to Class front page. Imagine a researcher requesting you to copy a picture. It's a simple task. You move your instrument of illustration across a sheet of blank paper with ease, glancing from the given picture to your own sketch in progress. When you are finished you observe a satisfactory replica and feel a sense of accomplishment and proficiency with the similarity you have achieved between picture and sketch. Then the researcher queries whether you can tell him what you have drawn. You search the interconnected lines, the edges, and the shapes of your sketch but cannot answer what the picture represents. Finally, an explanation is given. You have just drawn a house- a simple triangle resting on top of a square. Your sense of accomplishment is quickly replaced with a feeling of despair. Agnosia has been diagnosed in patients with all kinds of brain damage. Cases have been noted after both unilateral and bilateral damage to both the right and left hemispheres of the brain (Humohreys 1999). Patients with impairments to recognize faces usually have bilateral inferior lesions to the brain and occasionally have unilateral right hemisphere lesions (Humphreys 1999). Patients who exhibit impairments with word recognition usually have unilateral left inferior lesions to the brain. Those who exhibit impairments in both word recognition and face recognition usually exhibit bilateral lesions (Farah 1999).

A Research Proposal: The Effect of Object Presentation on Object Labeling and Copying Ability in Subjects with Right and Left Hemisphere Damage Candace N. Palmer Stephen F. Austin State University April 29, 2002 Currently, researchers are taking new approaches in determining which account of visual agnosia best explains the syndrome. Through experimentation, researchers have been attempting to simulate visual agnosia in subjects with normal vision in order to move beyond individual case studies with agnosia patients. Given the vast differences of impairments between patients with visual agnosia, the lack of clarity in defining categories of visual agnosia, and the failure to formulate a proficient explanation of the cognitive mechanisms behind the hidden perceptual processes that are involved in the syndrome of visual agnosia, it can be concluded that further research is desperately needed. Nevertheless, experiments such as the peppery mask experiments and the grouping-deficit account yield significant pieces of a puzzle that show encouraging signs of fitting together to enhance our understanding and advancement of knowledge surrounding object recognition disorders. Method Participants Participants will be individuals diagnosed with visual agnosia randomly selected from a compilation of visual agnosia patients in the United States. A total of 20 individuals will be randomly selected from all visual agnosia patients who respond to an invitation to participate. The total of 20 individuals will include 10 individuals marked by a left hemisphere lesion and 10 individuals marked by a right hemisphere lesion.

Function And Dysfunction Of The Cerebral Lobes Topics [General] Aphasia Apraxia Agnosia ... Amnesias Agnosia An uncommon neuropsychologic deficit in which an object cannot be identified despite the capacity to identify its tactile or visual elements. Memory previously stored in association cortices and related to objects' tactile or visual characteristics is impaired or lost. Affected persons sometimes can perceive the general nature of an object but not the specific object. An example is prosopagnosia, the inability to identify well-known faces, including close friends, despite being able to identify generic facial features. Anosognosia is a severe form of agnosia; the person loses all memory that a damaged body part (or other object) ever existed. The classic syndrome results from severe damage to the right, nondominant parietal lobe, leaving the bewildered patient unaware that he ever possessed the now paralyzed, desensitized left body parts or the space around them. Clinical tests for agnosia include asking the patient to identify common objects he can see or feel. Severe agnosia can be detected by asking the patient with left hemiplegia to identify the paralyzed parts of his body or objects located in his left visual field.

The dark blue sections represents brain areas that mediate the association of these perceptions. The colored areas in the figure on the right depict the injured areas of the occiptal and temporal lobes associated with prosopagnosia (inability to recognize faces). A gnosia: This refers to the inability to recognize people or objects even when basic sensory modalities, such as vision, are intact. For example, patients with visual agnosia may not recognize an object upon visual presentation even though they can describe its shape and other visual characteristics. It is apparent that sensory perception of the object is disconnected from memories associated with the object. The patient can perceive the object but has no meaningful associations to it.

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Agnosia? Agnosia is a rare disorder characterized by an inability to recognize and identify objects or persons despite having knowledge of the characteristics of the objects or persons. People with agnosia may have difficulty recognizing the geometric features of an object or face or may be able to perceive the geometric features but not know what the object is used for or whether a face is familiar or not. Agnosia can be limited to one sensory modality such as vision or hearing. For example, a person may have difficulty in recognizing an object as a cup or identifying a sound as a cough. Agnosia can result from strokes, dementia, or other neurological disorders. It typically results from damage to specific brain areas in the occipital or parietal lobes of the brain. People with agnosia may retain their cognitive abilities in other areas.

Calculations, Right-Left Confusion, Finger Agnosia, Agraphia Impairment of all four of these functions in an otherwise intact patient is referred to as Gerstmann's syndrome . Since Gerstmann's syndrome is caused by lesions in the dominant parietal lobe, aphasia is often (but not always) present as well, which can make the diagnosis difficult or impossible. Each of the individual components of Gerstmann's syndrome is poorly localizing on its own, but they are worth documenting as part of the assessment of overall cognitive function: Calculations. Can the patient do simple addition, subtraction, and so on? Right­left confusion. Can the patient identify right and left body parts? Finger agnosia. Can the patient name and identify each digit? Agraphia. Can the patient write their name and a sentence? These functions are often tested as part of language (discussed earlier). Right­left confusion and finger agnosia can both be quickly screened for with the classic command, "Touch your right ear with your left thumb." What is being tested?

AGNOSIA Neuro term The inability to recognize a coin, key, or other object merely by its feel, e.g., when held in the hand. The inability to recognize a door, e.g., by the sound of its slamming or from its photograph alone. In agnosia, while perception itself (i.e., feeling a coin's shape or hearing a door slam) is normal, recognition of objects is not. Usage : Studies of agnosia reveal how the brain processes nonverbal gestures, objects, and sensations apart from speech or words . Though very vocal, human beings still spend a great deal of their lives in Nonverbal World Stereognosis : The tactile ability to recognize objects placed in the hand. ( Graphesthesia is the tactile ability to recognize figures drawn on the skin.) Neuro-notes Inability to recognize a coin by the sound of its dropping suggests problems with the auditory association areas of the temporal lobe. Inability to recognize a coin held in the hand suggests problems with the tactile association areas of the parietal lobe. Inability to recognize a coin by its photograph suggests problems with the visual association areas of the occipital lobe. These nonverbal brain modules exist independently of the cortical modules used to recognize and produce speech sounds.

38. Agnosia Translate this page En este artículo trataremos en forma resumida algunos temas básicos para comprenderlo que es la agnosia AUDITIVA, partiendo de conceptos básicos sobre http://ceril.cl/P40_agnosia_aud.htm

Las sensaciones pueden ser clasificadas en tres grupos principales: externas (exteroceptivas), internas (propioceptivas) y especiales (interoceptivas). Los estímulos deben ser localizados de manera idéntica, a través de los ojos, de los oídos y de las manos. Los objetos pueden ser vistos, oídos y sentidos en movimiento, simultáneamente. La tendencia de integración, cooperación y concordancia de los diferentes sentidos es tanta, que a veces, a pesar de las discrepancias en la situación física real, nuestro sistema sensorial aporta ciertas "ilusiones", para que la realidad de alguna manera se acomode. Cuando vemos una película de cine, por ejemplo, oímos las voces como viniendo directamente de los labios en movimiento de los actores, aunque en la realidad, el sonido provenga de los altoparlantes colocados en lugares completamente diferentes. LA PERDIDA AUDITIVA Al tomar en cuenta las primeras (periféricas), Fraser (1976) indica que el término "alteraciones o defectos auditivos periféricos" normalmente implica lesiones del oído externo, medio o interno; aunque no se utiliza invariablemente en este sentido reducido, y puede ocasionalmente incluir lesiones del ganglio espiral, fibras del octavo par craneano y núcleos auditivos.
