Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Astereognosis can be divided into primary and secondary recognition defects. The primary recognition deficit, called morphognosia, is the impairment in recognition of the physical features of the object. The secondary recognition deficit is a specific impairment in object recognition with spared primary recognition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Patients with astereognosis typically have difficulty perceiving light touch, vibratory sensation, proprioception, superficial pain, temperature, two-point discrimination, weight discrimination, texture, substance, double simultaneous stimulation, and shape. The impairment is usually restricted to one hand.
