Question 2

How does Elizabeth Warrington account for the inability of patients with right parietal lesions to recognize common objects viewed from unfamiliar angles?

Accepted Answer

Warrington suggested that this symptom is due to a problem with perceptual classification rather than a deficit in forming a gestalt for a visual stimulus. It was suggested that an object presented in alternate views had to be mentally rotated to match a more common view of that object before that object could be classified.
