Learn About Agnosia

What is the definition of Agnosia?
Agnosia is characterized by an inability to recognize and identify objects and/or persons. Symptoms may vary, according to the area of the brain that is affected. It 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, traumatic brain injury, dementia, a tumor, developmental disorders, overexposure to environmental toxins (e.g., carbon monoxide poisoning), or other neurological conditions. Visual Agnosia may also occur in association with other underlying disorders. People with Agnosia may retain their cognitive abilities in other areas.
What are the alternative names for Agnosia?
  • Agnosia
  • Monomodal visual amnesia
  • Primary visual agnosia
  • Visual amnesia
