object agnosia
Object agnosia is a neurological condition where individuals have difficulty recognizing objects despite having intact vision. This condition often results from damage to specific areas of the brain, particularly the temporal lobe, which is crucial for processing visual information. People with object agnosia can see objects clearly but may struggle to identify or name them.
There are different types of object agnosia, including apperceptive agnosia and associative agnosia. In apperceptive agnosia, individuals cannot perceive the object's shape or structure, while in associative agnosia, they can perceive the object but cannot connect it to its meaning or function.
