Juanita's inability to recognize faces despite being able to hear their voices indicates facial agnosia. The damage to the underside of her lobes suggests that it is the occipital lobes that have been affected. Spatial neglect is characterized by ignoring one side of space, while dyslexia is a reading disorder and is not related to the given symptoms. Facial aphasia is not a recognized condition.
