Resumen

La agnosia visual hace referencia a unaincapacidad para reconocer y/o identificarestímulos conocidos, por vía visual, enausencia de déficit sensorial visualperceptivo básico, y sin que puedaexplicarse por un trastorno afásico o por undéficit atencional o intelectual. Elreconocimiento de los objetos dependeráde los rasgos distintivos de los mismos,capaces de activar las representacionessensoriales (estructurales), semánticas yconceptuales correspondientes. Analizaremos en primer lugar como se lleva a caboel procesamiento visual a través del estudioneuroanatómico y de los principalesmodelos de reconocimiento visual, paracentrarnos posteriormente en el análisis delas características clínicas de la agnosiavisual para los objetos, simultagnosia,agnosia para el color y alexia pura.Finalizaremos con una aproximación de losaspectos fundamentales a tener en cuentaen la evaluación de los rendimientosgnósicos visuales.
