agraphia [Grk gráphein ‘to write’]
In neurolinguistics, term referring to an acquired impairment in, or loss of, the ability to write. Pure agraphia is, however, an exception, in that oral expression and reading are usually impaired as well. On the various types and classifications, see Hecaen and Albert (1978). (
