Dysnomia
Dysnomia is a difficulty retrieving the correct words, names, or numbers from memory. Dysnomia is a learning disability present from childhood which can affect speech, writing, and/or math. Normal individuals will occasionally suffer problems recalling words, names, and numbers. This normal condition is not a learning disability.
Word recall problems are classified as dysnomia when they are severe enough to interfere with learning or with daily life. Doctors use neuropsychological and speech-language pathology tests to diagnose the condition. Dysnomia cannot be cured, but patients can improve their life skills by using coping strategies.
