Agnosia is a perceptual disorder that affects pattern recognition, but it specifically refers to a failure of categorization at a lower level of perceptual processing. Apperceptive agnosia is the term for this specific type of pattern recognition impairment. Dyslexic and amnesic refer to other types of cognitive dysfunction, and associative agnosia refers to a different subtype of agnosia where the person cannot recognize objects despite being able to identify their individual features.
