Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amorphosynthesis is the correct term for the inability to recognize faces or objects, often due to damage in the parietal lobe. However, it's important to note that the inability to recognize faces specifically is more accurately termed prosopagnosia, which is not one of the provided options. The term "amorphosynthesis" is not commonly used in this context, and there seems to be a mix-up in the question. Prosopagnosia typically results from damage to the fusiform gyrus in the brain, which is more closely associated with the temporal lobe rather than the parietal lobe.
