Music Agnosias: Selective Impairments of Music Recognition After Brain Damage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neuropsychological findings suggest that music is a special faculty (e.g., with respect to language) by being carried out by dedicated processes that are subserved by distinct anatomical brain structures. In the present paper, we review the evidence provided by brain-damaged patients who suffer from music agnosia, a selective impairment in music recognition. Three cases of music agnosia (C.N., G.L., and I.R.) without concomitant disorders and previously described independently are compared, with respect to the specificity issue.

متن کاملMusical, visual and cognitive deficits after middle cerebral artery infarction
The perception of music can be impaired after a stroke. This dysfunction is called amusia and amusia patients often also show deficits in visual abilities, language, memory, learning, and attention.
