| 1. | Impairment at this stage would be consistent with apperceptive agnosia.
|
| 2. | It involves a higher level of processing than apperceptive agnosia.
|
| 3. | In addition the occipitoparietal pathway is sometimes damaged in apperceptive agnosia patients.
|
| 4. | Those with apperceptive agnosia, however, have difficultly copying geometric shapes and letters.
|
| 5. | Apperceptive agnosia affects the fixation, reach for moving targets, and write as well.
|
| 6. | Brain damage leads to apperceptive agnosia because there is damage to a particular semantic category.
|
| 7. | For example, patient DF had lesions to the ventral surface that gave her apperceptive agnosia.
|
| 8. | Each patient that suffers from apperceptive agnosia does not have brain damage in exactly the same area.
|
| 9. | However, in addition to visual apperceptive agnosia there are also cases of apperceptive agnosia in other sensory areas.
