Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agnosia is a disorder that impairs the ability to recognize or make sense of incoming sensory information, such as visual objects, sounds, or smells. In visual agnosia, a person may be able to see an object but unable to identify it, even with an intact visual system. This condition can result from brain damage or disease, and can affect one or more sensory modalities. The other options, aphasia, myopia, and hyperopia, all refer to different disorders that affect language or visual acuity, but not the ability to perceive meaning in sensory stimuli.
