Prosopagnosia, [2] also known as face blindness, [3] is a cognitive disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face (self-recognition), is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision-making) remain intact.
Apperceptive agnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by failures in recognition due to a failure of perception.In contrast, associative agnosia is a type of agnosia where perception occurs but recognition still does not occur. [1]
A specific form of associative visual agnosia is known as prosopagnosia. Prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize faces. For example, these individuals have difficulty recognizing friends, family and coworkers. [22] However, individuals with prosopagnosia can recognize all other types of visual stimuli. [23]
Prosopometamorphopsia (PMO [1]), also known as demon face syndrome, [2] is a visual disorder characterized by altered perceptions of faces. In the perception of a person with the disorder, facial features are distorted in a variety of ways including drooping, swelling, discoloration, and shifts of position.
One disorder often seen alongside cerebral achromatopsia is prosopagnosia, the inability to recall or recognize faces. The correlation is still the subject of ongoing research, but the most telltale clue in this association is the close proximity of brain lesions seen in prosopagnosics and those with cerebral achromatopsia without prosopagnosia ...
A new case study finds evidence of prosopagnosia and other neuropsychological problems in a 28-year-old long-COVID patient. Woman develops 'face blindness' at 28. Researchers think COVID-19 is cause
In this way, it is very easily mistaken as prosopagnosia, which is an inability to perceive or recognize faces. Prosopagnosia is a deficit that occurs earlier in the neural circuit while the facial stimuli is being processed, whereas prosopamnesia takes effect when the brain attempts to encode the processed facial stimuli into memory.
Individuals with prosopagnosia know that they are looking at faces, but cannot recognize people by the sight of their face, even people whom they know well. [ 6 ] Simultagnosia , an inability to recognize multiple objects in a scene, including distinct objects within a spatial layout and distinguishing between "local" objects and "global ...
