афантазия


Definition from own experience or research:
Неспособност за ментално визуализиране на реални предмети

Example sentence(s):
  • В днешно време невролозите наричат тази неспособност за формиране на ментални (умствени) образи „вродена афантазия“. Интересен факт е, че хората с афантазия виждат картини в сънищата си, което означава, че това състояние засяга само способността за съзнателното визуализиране (целенасоченото използване на въображението). - Neuro English  
  • Име на това състояние, от което страда един на всеки 50 човека в света – афантазия – дава пофесорът по неврология Адам Земан от Университета в Ексетър. Първо е открито през 80-те години на 19 век и появата му е била свързвана повече с мозъчни травми. В днешно време невролозите наричат тази неспособност за формиране на ментални (умствени) образи вродена афантазия. - Street Watch
