This is a description of landmark agnosia, which is the inability to recognize individual landmarks despite being able to recognize the class of objects to which they belong. Bálint's syndrome refers to a combination of three visuospatial deficits, including optic ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, and simultanagnosia. Topographic amnesia is the inability to navigate in familiar environments, and egocentric disorientation is the inability to locate objects in space relative to one's own body.
