Prosopagnosia

Anybody listen to this yesterday on Radio 4?

Absolutely fascinating, two sides of the coin. People who just can't recognise faces (Mothers who don't know which child is theirs in the playground) and people who never forget a face...

Re: Prosopagnosia

No, but the linky was interesting.

I was appalled at not being able to recognise my own babies the morning after they were born. And I have been known to not spot my car in a carpark, without using the 'lock' button, quite a few times.
It's charcter and voice that I recognise best.
It depends what you're focussing on I guess.

Re: Prosopagnosia

There's a woman referenced who can't follow a film if the characters change clothes, amazing!

Re: Prosopagnosia

If you're interested in this kind of stuff, read some of Oliver Sacks's work. Absolutely fascinating. I really enjoyed reading
The man who mistook his wife for a hat
