Visual agnosia is when an individual can see an object but cannot recognize it. This study helps us understand the syndrome more because it shows us how patient perform on many different tests that would show us the results of how they perform in each test. Each test was given for different purposes but at the end these results can help us conclude with one answer that the researches want because this is the purpose of the whole study. The methods they use to address the main questions of the study is first giving the patient a set of tests like normal verbal and non-verbal tests to see if his ability of unable to read newspaper is because of verbal comprehension impairment but they didn’t found any proofs that this has anything to do with …show more content…

I think the major limitations of this study is that this study is only based upon one patient and it might not be accurate because I think you need more patients since different people
