Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Visual agnosia occurs when there’s brain damage along the pathways that connect the occipital lobe of the brain with the parietal or temporal lobe. The occipital lobe assembles incoming visual information. The parietal and temporal lobes allow you to understand the meaning of this information.
Detailed explanation-2: -While cortical blindness results from lesions to primary visual cortex, visual agnosia is often due to damage to more anterior cortex such as the posterior occipital and/or temporal lobe(s) in the brain. There are two types of visual agnosia: apperceptive agnosia and associative agnosia.
