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.
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.
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]
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
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.
Arthur Benton was a psychologist who worked with neurologist Morris Bender during his military assignment to the San Diego Naval Hospital.His experiences in the treatment of servicemen who had traumatic brain injuries led to his development of the Benton Visual Retention Test.
Prosopagnosia is a disorder which causes the inability to use overt facial recognition. [9] While people suffering from prosopagnosia often cannot identify whose face they are looking at they usually show signs of covert recognition. This can be seen in their ability to accurately guess information during forced choice tasks. [2]
