His son would later report when the dad had looked at them.

I imagine this is the same condition that the man who mistook took his wife for a hat had. Yes?
I read the book about 30 years ago, but I think it was not this, but rather the result of a brain tumor or stroke or something--not a psychological condition per se but organic? But maybe I am not remembering correctly.
