ABSTRACT
Note that objects can be recognised in other ways – that is, from touch (tactile input) or from audition – at least for objects with characteristic noises. Note also that deficits in object recognition are typically due to lesions in regions such as the occipital and inferior temporal lobes (normally supplied by the posterior cerebral artery) that are typically intact in people with aphasia due to stroke (which usually follows lesions in the territory of the middle cerebral artery) (Farah, 1990; Riddoch & Humphreys, 2001). Striking deficits in object perception are therefore unusual in this population.
