what would happen to a person with damage to the visual association area of their brain?

Answer 1

Damage to primary visual cortex, causes blindness in some portion of visual field. The exact location depends on where the brain damage is. But person can still perceive objects and their backgrounds.
Damage to visual association cortex can produce varying amounts of difficulty in perceiving shapes and objects or in perceiving particular visual characteristics. Can disrupt color vision (achromatopia) normal vision but in black and white--no color.
Damage to another subdivision can make it difficult for a person to perceive movements and keep track of moving objects, sees changes in location, but no sensation of movement.
Damage to the visual association cortex in the parietal lobe can make it difficult for a person to keep track of the location of objects in the visual scene (Balint’s syndrome) can recognize an object when they look directly at them but unable to see where they are located. The scene in front of them is a jumble of individual objects, arranged in no particular order.
Damage to visual association cortex of the temporal lobe can disrupt the ability to recognize objects without affecting the ability to see colors, movements, or fine details (visual agnosia).
One form of visual agnosia makes it difficult for person to recognize particular faces (prosopagnosia). Most people with prosopagnosia have difficulty recognizing other complex visual stimuli as well.
