  • Title: A familial factor in the development of colour agnosia.
    Author: Nijboer TC, van Zandvoort MJ, de Haan EH.
    Journal: Neuropsychologia; 2007 Apr 09; 45(8):1961-5. PubMed ID: 17337019.
    Abstract:
    An important aspect of research into the link between genes and behaviour concerns the identification of familial determination. There is evidence for familial factors in selective deficits, such as developmental dyslexia and developmental prosopagnosia. Colour agnosia concerns a selective neuropsychological condition in which colour perception is intact, while the identification and naming of colour is disrupted. We recently demonstrated that this deficit can occur as a developmental deficit. Here, we show that there is a familial factor in the development of colour agnosia by reporting the colour processing abilities of the mother and the daughters of a man with developmental colour agnosia.
