A verbal-semantic category-specific recognition impairment. Sheridan, J. & Humphreys, G. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 10(2):143–184, 1993.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Reported the results of 13 experimental investigations of a 19-yr-old woman with a category-specific recognition deficit following herpes simplex encephalitis infection. The S had greater difficulty identifying animals and foodstuffs than inanimate objects. For the impaired categories, she had intact structural knowledge when accessed visually. However, retrieving this knowledge from other input modalities was poor, and the S had impaired verbal-semantic knowledge concerning the affected categories. She also showed item-specific consistency across time and modalities. The S's deficit is attributed to a loss of verbal-semantic knowledge. It is suggested that category-specific problems can be linked to different functional impairments. Problems emerge according to the similarity between items at a particular processing level and to the use of cross-modality associations in differentiating within object classes.
