“…The attention of the authors, however, has been more often attracted by deficits related to colour naming, colour-sorting (so-called 1 'colour agnosia'), and colour-object association and to their prevalent occurrence in patients with lesions of the dominant hemisphere (Sittig, 1921;Lange, 1936; Kinsbourne and Warrington, 1964), than by mere impairment of colour-discrimination. Although this last symptom has long been known to follow injury to the central optic pathways in both the contralateral and the ipsilateral visual half-field (Reinhard, 1887;Best, 1917;Teuber, 1960;Critchley, 1965), the frequency of its appearance and the wavelengths of the light spectrum that are preferentially involved are still imperfectly known.…”
