Document Summary

Communication (extralinguistic) adequate language difficulties with communication (use of language) Perceptual impairments: neglect, visuospatial processing, facial recognition (prosopagnosia, constructional, anosognosia, orientation, color recognition, executive function. Neglect: reduced sensitivity to stimuli or awareness of space, can occur for r or l side lesions, low incidence for left side lesions; much higher for right lesions. Motor exploratory component of neglect: reluctance to scan and explore left hemispace, lack of interest in left side, right side bias (always starts on right side) Visuospatial deficits: spatial orientation (directionality- up/down, left/right, figure ground, writing- abnormal slope and spacing, body in space (proprioception, topographic disorientation & geographical impairment (confused location, how to get from one place to another) Facial recognition deficits (prosopagnosia: difficulty recognizing familiar faces (from visual only) but better with additional cues (person speaks, clothing, perfume, choosing faces just shown, naming famous people from photos, distinguishing facial features (male/female, old/young, perceptual impairments (cont. )
