agnosia- the patient doesn't know (eg. finger agnosia) ... agnosognosia is where the patient doesnt know and he doesnt know that he doesnt know (sort of lack of insight, though not the same) Guess this is really vague sounding :-(
apraxia- inability to do simple tasks? (eg. dressing apaxia- pt has difficulty getting dressed/ wearing clothes) Hemineglect- where the patient ignores half side of his body. |
