Covert colour processing in colour agnosia.

Developmental colour agnosia.

Colour agnosia concerns the inability to recognise colours despite intact colour perception, semantic memory for colour information, and colour naming. Patients with selective colour agnosia have been described and the deficit is associated with left hemisphere damage. Here we report a case study of a 43-year-old man who was referred to us with a stroke in his right cerebellar hemisphere. Durin...

Covert processing of visual form in the absence of area LO.

The patient D.F., who suffers from severe visual form agnosia, has been found to have a bilateral lesion of area LO, an area known to be intimately involved in the perception of object shape. Despite her perceptual impairment, however, D.F. retains residual form processing abilities that can provide distal visuomotor control, for example in the configuration of her grasp when reaching to pick u...

Pure alexia and right hemiachromatopsia in posterior dementia.

A 66 year old, right handed woman presented with pure alexia and right hemiachromatopsia (PARH) in the context of a posterior dementia. PARH was accompanied by prosopagnosia, 2-D object agnosia, and environmental agnosia. Visual fields were normal to confrontation testing. The pathological anatomy of PARH involves circumscribed damage to the lingual and fusiform gyri and paraventricular white m...

Observations on Colour Agnosia.

Colour Emotion Models, CIELAB Colour Coordinates, and Iranian Emotional Responses

Ten colour emotional scales, namely, "Warm Cool", "Active-Passive", "Like-Dislike", "Clean-Dirty", "Fresh-Stale", "Modern-Classical", "Heavy-Light", "Hard- Soft", "Tense-Relaxed", and "Masculine-Feminine"are investigated for single-colour stimuli in CIELAB colour space within a psychophysical experiment by forty observers. The relationships between Iranian colour emotional responses and CIELAB ...
