–Neural Information Processing Systems
Farah (1990) has proposed an alternative class of explanations involving partial damage to multiple pathways. We explore this explanation for optic aphasia, a disorder in which severe perfonnance deficits are observed when patients are asked to name visually presented objects, but surprisingly, performance is relatively nonnal on naming objects from auditory cues and on gesturing the appropriate use of visually presented objects.
