Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual agnosia is a condition characterized by the inability to recognize or identify familiar objects or stimuli, despite having adequate sensory functioning. Detra's ability to know where the object is located in her visual field suggests that her visual sensory functioning is intact, but her brain is unable to process or assign meaning to the visual input. Visual aphasia, on the other hand, is a language disorder that affects the ability to understand or use words related to visual stimuli. Myopia and hyperopia are refractive errors that affect the ability to focus on distant or close objects, respectively, but they are not relevant to Detra's symptoms.
