Agnosia (a-gnosis, "non-knowledge") is a loss of ability to recognize objects, persons, sounds, shapes or smells while the specific sense is not defective nor is there any significant memory loss. It is usually associated with brain injury or neurological illness, particularly after damage to the temporal lobe.
Please submit sites about agnosia to this area.
Sites must be in English. If they are not, please submit to a proper World category instead.
Submit only Organizations and Agencies to this category. Any chartered BIA-USA sites with their own website should be submitted to the Brain Injury Association subcategory. Pages hosted on the BIAUSA.ORG parent site are accessed through the BIAUSA main ODP listing. All Headway chartered groups with their own website should be listed under the Headway subcategory. Any Headway chartered sites without their own web pages should just be accessed through the main Headway listing.
Prosopagnosia, or face blindness, is a disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. In extreme cases the ability to recognize a face as a face is impaired.
