Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual agnosia is a condition where a person is unable to recognize an object despite having normal vision. Therefore, identifying Fluffy as a cat will be the most difficult task for Francis. He may still be able to describe Fluffy's appearance, draw a picture of her, and have enough coordination to pet her, but he will not be able to recognize her as a cat.
