Normal Composite Face Effects in Developmental Prosopagnosia [PDF]

open access: yesCortex, 2017
Upright face perception is thought to involve holistic processing, whereby local features are integrated into a unified whole. Consistent with this view, the top half of one face appears to fuse perceptually with the bottom half of another, when aligned spatially and presented upright.

The Definition and Diagnosis of Developmental Prosopagnosia [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017
Over the last 20 years much attention in the field of face recognition has been directed towards the study of developmental prosopagnosia (DP), with some authors investigating the behavioural characteristics of the condition, and many others using these individuals to further our theoretical understanding of the typical face-processing system.

Developmental Prosopagnosia in Childhood [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Neuropsychology, 2012
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is defined by severe face recognition problems resulting from a failure to develop the necessary visual mechanisms for processing faces. While there is a growing literature on DP in adults, little has been done to study this disorder in children.

The Cognitive and Neural Basis of Developmental Prosopagnosia [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a severe impairment of visual face recognition in the absence of any apparent brain damage. The factors responsible for DP have not yet been fully identified. This article provides a selective review of recent studies investigating cognitive and neural processes that may contribute to the face recognition deficits in

Normal gaze processing in developmental prosopagnosia

Cortex, 2022
Two key functions in human face perception are gaze discrimination and identity recognition. Here we examine whether gaze discrimination can be intact when identity recognition is impaired in developmental prosopagnosia (DP). We ran a large sample of developmental prosopagnosics (DPs) with a series of gaze discrimination tasks that assess various ...

Advances in developmental prosopagnosia research

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2013
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) refers to face recognition deficits in the absence of brain damage. DP affects ∼2% of the population, and it often runs in families. DP studies have made considerable progress in identifying the cognitive and neural characteristics of the disorder.

Developmental Prosopagnosia: A Study of Three Patients

Brain and Cognition, 2003
We studied perception in three patients with prosopagnosia of childhood onset. All had trouble with other 'within-category' judgments. All were deficient on face matching tests and severely impaired on tests of perception of the spatial relations of facial features and abstract designs, indicating a deficit in the encoding of coordinate relationships ...

Word and text processing in developmental prosopagnosia

Cognitive Neuropsychology, 2016
The "many-to-many" hypothesis proposes that visual object processing is supported by distributed circuits that overlap for different object categories. For faces and words the hypothesis posits that both posterior fusiform regions contribute to both face and visual word perception and predicts that unilateral lesions impairing one will affect the other.

Normal social cognition in developmental prosopagnosia

Cognitive Neuropsychology, 2009
Face perception provides information critical to cognitive computations about the social world. This raises the possibility that the development of mechanisms used for social cognition may depend on the presence of normal face perception mechanisms, and this notion partly motivates an aetiological model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that suggests ...
