Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual agnosia is a condition where a person is unable to recognize objects despite having intact vision. This condition is caused by damage to the occipital-temporal pathway, which is responsible for object recognition. Therefore, Tary is most likely suffering from damage to his occipital-temporal pathway.
