Example Sentences:

(4) This selective anomia, confined to auditory modality, is discussed in view of the previous researches regarding the general field in naming disturbances, which showed that for the vaste majority of aphasics, anomia was not modality dependent.
(5) An adult patient with literal alexia, agraphia, slight anomia, and dyscalculia due to a left hemisphere infarct showed lack of sequential skills while pattern recognition remained intact.
(6) A 75-year-old right-handed woman, after a probable cerebral infarct, developed an irregular constriction of the visual fields, a left-sided agraphia, and an anomia for objects in the left hand.

(11) There were no differences in pattern suggestive of disproportionately severe anomia, amnesia, agnosia, or apraxia in the early onset FAD group, as has been reported previously.
(12) Not only colour anomia, but also object and especially photograph anomia could almost always be shown in alexics and were highly correlated with the degree of the reading impairment.
(13) It is claimed that important new insights into the characteristics of progressive anomia have been obtained by taking a longitudinal approach.
(14) Conversely, mild anomia was found in the native language of a second patient, while global aphasia was found in the secondary language.
(15) The analysis demonstrated that, while the concepts of anomia and self-esteem are distinct, the domain of life satisfaction overlaps those of anomia and self-esteem.
(16) Midteen feelings of anomie and rebellion correlated positively with midteen perception of parent-midteen disagreement about how the midteen should be reared: Anomia r (172) = .25, p less than .01; Rebellion r (172) = .37, p less than .01.
(17) A subject's age did not account for the degree of anomia.
(18) A number of comparisons were made, under the rubrics of success in naming, types of error and response latency, in an attempt to ascertain whether evidence of post-operative anomia could be detected.
(19) Definitions of anomia as a symptom of aphasia have been classified into three categories.
(20) Her anomia shows exceptional features: it occurs in naming tasks in test conditions but not in continuous speech; it involves comprehension deficits but very few semantic errors in expression; it improves with phonemic, but not with semantic cues.
Anopia
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) Homonymous upper-quadrant anopia, hemianopia, or upper- and lower-quadrant sector anopsia can be present.
(2) Homonymous hemianopia, upper-quadrant anopia, or upper- and lower-quadrant sector anopia can be present.
