absencia fantázie (afantázia)

Absenciu fantázie prvýkrát dostal do povedomia ľudí už v roku 1880 Francis Galton. Znova sa o nej začalo hovoriť v roku 2005. Nemenovaný pacient navštívil ordináciu neurológa profesora Adama Zemana z Exeterskej univerzity. Po krátkej intervencii si pacient uvedomil, že si vo svojej mysli nedokáže vybaviť nijaký obraz. Akoby sa náhle ocitol v tme.
Example sentences:
Blíže ji popsal až v roce 2005 Adam Zeman, profesor kognitivní a behaviorální neurologie působíci na Universitě Exeter ve Velké Británii, který ji také dal pojmenování Afantasia nebo aglicky Aphantasia (absence fantazie, představivosti). (Afantasia. Jak umí zkazit prodej nemovi)
