Agraphognosia
Superior Parietal Lobe
An inability to ID simultaneous stimulation on L & R side of body

Hemineglect
RIGHT Superior Parietal Lobe (usually)
Inability to recognize objects (usually small) but can still recognize people
Visual agnosia
Visual Assoc Cortex (areas 18& 19)
Form of visual agnosia where pt is unable to convert symbols into written/spoken language (motor mech. intact)
Dyslexia
Inferior Parietal Lobe
Superior Temporal Lobe
Occipital Lobe
Condition where pt with unimpaired hearing fails to recognize meaning of a perceived sound (e.g. A FAUCET DRIP!)
Auditory agnosia
Wernicke's Area
(Superior & Middle Temporal gyri)
Inability to perform a willed act even though the motor system is intact. (usually assoc w/dominant hemisphere)
Apraxia
Inability to perform a willed act even though motor system is intact. Generally associated with the dominant hemisphere.
Apraxia
Parietal or Premotor hemisphere
Inability to plan/execute several components of a complex act (make a square out of toothpicks)
Constructional apraxia
Seen in Alz Dx
Inability to perform facial-oral movements on command
Facial apraxia
Parietal or Premotor hemisphere
Inability to put on clothes, comb one’s hair, blow one’s nose when asked
Dressing apraxia
Parietal or Premotor hemisphere
Characterized by influent speech ("labored speech"), good comprehension, & poor repetition
Expressive aphasia
Broca's area (43)
Inability to express thoughts in writing. (usually accompanies which aphasia?)
Agraphia
Broca's area (43)
Auditory agnosia characterized by poor comprehension, fluent speech, & poor repetition. "Word deafness"
Receptive aphasia (Wernike's aphasia- "trable" not table)
Superior and middle temporal gyri (dominant hemisphere- Wernike's Area) Inferior parietal lobule.
Characterized by good comprehension, fluent speech & poor repetition.
Conduction aphasia
Transection of the superior longitudinal fasciculus (arcuate fasciculus)
Characterized by poor comprehension and non-fluent speech.
