Some sources consider it a milder form of anomia, which is a type of aphasia, or disorder of language. Dysnomia seems to be more clearly memory related and specifically related to a retrieval deficit. Presented with an object, most people who suffer from dysnomia can describe the object, talk about how it can be used, and what category of objects it falls into. However, they are unable to come up with the name for it."
