Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosopagnosia is a specific type of visual agnosia where individuals have difficulty recognizing faces despite having intact intellectual function. Apraxia refers to difficulty in performing purposeful movements, not recognition of faces. Apperceptive agnosia refers to difficulty in perceptual processing and recognition of objects, not specifically faces. Synesthesia is a neurological condition where stimulation of one sensory modality leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in another modality.
