The book by the renowned neuropsychologist E.P. Kok, which has long become a bibliographic rarity, offers readers a sample of a classic scientific-practical approach to the problem of functional hemispheric brain asymmetry. The book presents data from 1000 clinical neuropsychological examinations, as well as tachistoscopies and studies of abstract relations. Three syndromes of the subdominant type are considered: temporal, temporo-occipital, and occipital or occipito-temporal, as well as three syndromes of the dominant type: occipito-temporal, temporo-occipital, and lower temporal. The former are characterized by disorders of the most vivid, concrete aspects of visual gnosis, while the latter are characterized by disorders of generalized, schematic, abstract aspects of gnosis, selective disturbances of abstract relations, and forgetting the names of certain features, objects, or relationships between objects in space. The book is intended for neurologists and psychiatrists, physiologists and psychologists interested in the activity of the visual analyzer. It can serve as a scientific-practical guide for students and postgraduates specializing in the field of neuropsychology of visual perception, as well as for speech therapists and defectologists dealing with problems of functional diagnostics of reading, writing, and visual attention disorders. It may also be very useful for neurobiologists and neuroengineers studying the structure of the human visual brain in an attempt to build artificial vision and decision-making systems.
