Associative Agnosia Video

In the clip we see an associative agnosic attempting to recognize objects through touching/smelling vs. seeing. For the objects he sees but does not recognize, his hands demonstrate wonderful implicit awareness of how to manually interact with the object, based on representations in the "how" visual pathway.

I laughed so hard when I heard that. "no shit" lmao

[@LtColFrankSlade_]

This is interesting. From what I can gather there is no visual representation of the object but if it is touched by the participant that can gather the information about the object and name it.

[@samandar4438]

Thats why it is *visual* agnosia

[@whatisthishandlegarbage]

Feels like I have visual agnosia watching this video. What's up with the quality. Is it from the 1930s?

[@SuperSohSo]

From an old vhs tape young man

[@randomsandra4039]

In the 1930’s, the researcher would be more likely to be male.
Beta Max or VHS…wow, I’m old…

[@garrettbrooks6576]

Probably from the 1980s or 1990s

[@geezeweezebabypls]

seriously this guy is too cool for an agnostic px.

[@MrSeanabel]

associative agnostics can copy and describe an object like an apple perfectly, yet cannot tell you what it is. Thats why he said it was a candle, yet when he smelled it (receiving more sensory information) he said it was a crayon, but he is still unsure what it is

[@copyrightpeep4257]

Can you tell us where you sourced this clip from?

[@samandar4438]

That pat in the back was wholesome)

[@bentoovey3589]

@TheMightyHarihar yes but the guy is evidently an english speaker.

[@prestopasta_]

This guy is hilarious, way cool

[@mudlark4099]

I feel so bad for him, he's struggling so hard.

[@exeterishere6928]

can they recognize the objects visually after figuring out what it is? or is it only by touch/smelling

[@maisy9794]

I don't think so. Look at the first clip and how he can not tell for sure if it's a candle or a crayon, he explains that whatever that is it smells like crayon and shaped like candle. He just makes a guess

[@thedyingmessage2249]

I heard they can. Like, some of them actually put it in their mouth, smell it, or hear it to try to figure out what the object is

[@RobertoLion]

I didn't understand the last part...

how does he know what a cat is?

[@XmarfishX]

No, shit :P

[@Harihar_Patel]

Doesn't it also depend on the language of the native speaker. You can't just say X is an apple etc, it's an apple in ENGLISH. You need the distinction for other languages.

[@EQuisby]

What do you do with a pen?
You write with it
Show me how
*clearly shows how*
Yes but how do you do it...
Lady.... The hell does that even mean

[@gutzimmumdo4910]

i dont understand your confusion, the lady has asosiative agnosia and the doctor is showing her what u do with the objects.

[@bryanrosario90]

@@gutzimmumdo4910 No, the guy has agnosia. He thinks he's looking at a picture of a pen, but it's a picture of a clarinet. The woman wants him to try pretending to use the object so that he'll use a different part of his brain and realize it's not a pen. That's why he asks if it's a flute afterwards.

[@xLeiin]

The picture wasn't that of a pen, that's why she said: 'show me what you do with it'. Then his hands were shaped like he played a flute and he said: 'is it a flute or something?'
The woman in the video confirms by saying it's a picture of a clarinette.
