Abstract

Most people recognize familiar faces rapidly, accurately and effortlessly. However, this is not true for individuals with prosopagnosia, who show a deficit in recognizing familiar people by their faces.

Fußnoten
1
The word hemiplegia refers to the inability to move half side (the contro-lesional one) of the body.
 
2
In neuropsychology visual agnosia is the name of a general condition characterized by the inability to recognize visual stimuli despite normal low-level vision (e.g., normal colour perception and normal visual field). Patients can show inability to recognize objects (object agnosia), colours (colour agnosia) and/or faces (prosopagnosia) (Denes and Pizzamiglio 1996).
 
3
It is not the aim of the chapter to provide an extensive review of the anatomical and clinical features of cases of acquired prosopagnosia. The interested reader should refer for example to Barton (2008) and Gainotti (2011).
 
4
The fact that the brain lesion was acquired short after birth, makes Adam a case of developmental prosopagnosia (i.e., prosopagnosia acquired very early in development) and not of congenital prosopagnosia (see below).
 
5
The term “phenotype”, borrowed from Genetics, indicates here the strengths and weaknesses that characterize face recognition skills in different people with congenital prosopagnosia.
 
6
The main problem in adopting personally familiar faces is that we need a strong collaboration from family member who should collect many pictures of family members and friends of the prosopagnosic. This, unfortunately, is not always possible.
 
7
The tasks I present are the ones adopted (at least from the 2007 until 2011) at the Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science in order to understand whether a person suffers from congenital prosopagnosia.
 
8
Now people can learn about prosopagnosia and share their stories, for instance, in: “http://​www.​faceblind.​org” and
 
9
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The one which determines the sex, the so-called ‘sexual chromosomes’, are XX in the women and XY in men. The other 22 pairs are called ‘autosome’ or ‘non-sexual chromosomes’.
 
10
It should be noted however that both parents in this family were affected by CP, thus the results may be accounted for by other inheritance patterns as well.
 
11
The term prosopedist does not exist in the current research literature. It has been suggested by me and inserted here for the first time to indicate the figure of a specialist with adequate skills to help people with prosopagnosia.
