We present a comprehensive review of the rare syndrome visual form agnosia (VFA). We
begin by documenting its history, including the origins of the term, and the first case study …

Seeing seems effortless, despite the need to segregate and integrate visual information that
varies in quality, quantity, and location. The extent to which seeing passively recapitulates …

Five inferential methods employed in single-case studies to compare a case to controls are
examined; all of these make use of a t-distribution. It is shown that three of these ostensibly …

An established conceptualization of visual cortical function is one in which ventral regions
mediate object perception while dorsal regions support spatial information processing and …

We examined the organization and function of the ventral object processing pathway. The
prevailing theoretical approach in this field holds that the ventral object processing stream …

Visual agnosia and Balint's syndrome are complex neurological disorders of the higher
visual system that can have a remarkable impact on individuals' lives. Rehabilitation of these …

Identifying the movements of those around us is fundamental for many daily activities, such
as recognizing actions, detecting predators, and interacting with others socially. A key …

Patients with visual agnosia show severe deficits in recognizing two-dimensional (2-D)
images of objects, despite the fact that early visual processes such as figure-ground …

How complex multipart visual objects are represented perceptually remains a subject of
ongoing investigation. One source of evidence that has been used to shed light on this issue …

Background: Agnosia for objects is often overlooked in neuropsychology, especially with
respect to rehabilitation. Prosopagnosia has been studied more extensively, yet there have …
