Associative Agnosia

Associative agnosia is a neurological condition where individuals can see objects clearly and identify their basic features but struggle to recognize what the objects are or their meaning. For example, a person might see a chair and be able to describe its shape and size but not realize it is a chair or what it’s used for. This condition results from damage to specific areas of the brain involved in connecting visual information with stored knowledge, making recognition difficult despite normal vision. It highlights how our brain processes visual details separately from our understanding of object significance.
