Damage to the junction of the occipital and temporal cortex typically leads to a condition known as agnosia, which is the inability to recognize or identify an object by sight. This condition can manifest as prosopagnosia (inability to recognize faces), object agnosia (inability to recognize common objects), or color agnosia (inability to recognize colors). While the other options listed (loss of motion perception, loss of ability to grasp objects by center of mass) can also result from brain damage, they are not typically associated with damage to this specific area of the cortex.
