Document Summary
Patient knew the functions of the object, but was not able to say what the object was. Patient is aware of the shape, pieces, elements but the patient couldn"t put them together to create this image of a combination lock. Patients are often able to recognise simple features, shape size or even numbers in a phone dial; however, the entire thing cannot be perceived. Study: participants were given a picture printed without colour and instructed to colour in the image. Results: colours were placed in an organised way. Each object was given a distinct different colour-even when overlapped e. g. the fork in image 3. Even when complex black and white drawing, they were able to tell are should be belong which objects and which area should come together to form an entire object. Their eyes are okay in this sense, able to identify the difference between different objects and different areas of these drawings.
