What is agnosia?

Agnosia is a partial or complete impairment of object recognition in the absence of damage to the sensory pathways between the brain and the perceptual areas of the cerebral cortex. It manifests itself in the form of disturbances in a person’s orientation and frame of reference, memory loss, mental difficulties, and a decrease in the ability to process sensory stimuli. Difficulties are typical in identifying what was previously seen and familiar against the background of perceiving new unusual information. This condition occurs at different age periods in almost every person and has its own distinct spectrum of disorders. In anatomy, the ability to recognize objects and situations is classified as trace reactions, and the part with trace reactions refers to topographic agnosia. Subsequent studies led to confirmation of violations of the integration features of the psyche and brain. Agnosia does not occur in the absence of visual recognition before the start of research or in situations related to the active work of consciousness to memorize information or perceive the speech of other people. Definitions of different types of blindness appear clearer when the activity principle is applied and an integrated approach is taken. Neurological problems in the form of “blindness” observed in some Parkinson’s patients are not associated with functional disorders of the visual analyzer. Types and symptoms of development

There are many classifications of agnosia, each of which leads to common features of the disease. The disorders are conventionally divided into 3 types according to the characteristics of the disease: - Addition agnosia. Man notes
