Other ataxias may also have symptoms that affect gait, speech, thought process, spatial awareness, and time orientation used in their diagnoses, covering up the fact that most of these patients ...
Similar, but distinct, is color agnosia, which involves having difficulty recognizing colors, while still being able to perceive them as measured by a color matching or categorizing task. [12] Cortical deafness: Refers to people who do not perceive any auditory information but whose hearing is intact. Environmental agnosia
