Ideomotor apraxia
inability to carry out requested movement properly
Ideation- unable to carry out coordinated sequences of actions - taking match box and lighting it.
Dressing apraxia- non dominant.
Conduction apraxia- greater impairment when imitating movements than when pantomiming to command
Concetual- make content and tool selection errors. Cannot recall type of actions associated with certain tools.
Failure to recognise the whole of a complex picture, while being able to identify individual parts
?anosognosia, visual agnosia, agraphognosia, broca’s aphasia, deficits in executive functioning, ideomotor aprxia, astereognosia, wernicke’s aphasia,prosopagnosia, simultagnosia
Simultagnosis- occurs in Balint’s syndrome (occulomotor apraxia and optic ataxia) and involves lesions of posterior occipitoparietal lobe
