VISUAL imagery is the creation of mental representations that share many features with veridical visual percepts. Studies of normal and brain-damaged people reinforce the view that visual imagery and visual perception are mediated by a common neural substrate and activate the same representations1–4. Thus, brain-damaged patients with intact vision who have an impairment in perception should have impaired visual imagery. Here we present evidence to the contrary from a patient with severely…

A model in which imagery and perception are strongly associated but are also functionally specialized is proposed, in which C.K. was able to draw objects in considerable detail from memory, and his knowledge of the visual appearance of objects was preserved on a variety of mental imagery tasks.

A patient with associative visual agnosia secondary to a penetrating bitemporooccipital lesion remained able to draw complex objects from memory but could not subsequently recognize his sketches, infering a preserved ability to derive internal visual images from semantic memory.

The results demonstrate that agnosia may be determined by a specific deficit in integrating form information; and that the input description for visual object recognition, disrupted in this patient, is functionally separate from stored object descriptions, which are intact.
