This is consistent with what has been observed in split-brain patients. The left-visual field is processed by the right hemisphere of the brain, which is not specialized for language production. Therefore, when an object is presented to the left visual field, the individual may not be able to name it, but they may still be able to draw it or pick it up with their left hand (controlled by the right hemisphere).
