Document Summary
Apperceptive visual agnosia: not being able to put together an item, cannot recognize, copy or match an item, see that there is something there but can"t see what it is. Associative visual agnosia: people can copy the object, disorder of meaning. Inability to name what it is cannot put a meaning to the object. Video of agnosia: given a picture and asked to identify it, three choices: clock, lock, or telephone, at the end, determines it is a lock through his hand movement of turning a combination. Immediately identifies as a lock, but once questioned, begins to question choice lock. Spots that are just spots but once moving, appear to be images. Brain extracts movement and connects the dots. Body parts are a set distance apart once you light up joints, it is clear to see what is moving (ie arm)
