Sažetak
A CASE of apperceptive visual agnosia, revealing difficulties only in the performance on a standard overlapping-figures test, has been studied. Unusually, the patient demonstrated difficulties only with two semantic categories of the overlapped figures (clothes and school accessories) ; preserving, however, the knowledge of the same figures when presented isolated. We propose that the underlying deficit is only of a pseudo-semantic nature and is actually due to certain similarities of the two overlapping combinations, creating difficulties still on the apperception level only.
