- Abstract
- Geskin and Behrmann (2017) analyzed more than 700 scientific reports of people suffering from long-term developmental difficulties at individual face recognition (IFR) published over four decades (1976–2017). The goal of their review, an invaluable contribution for the field, is to enlighten the long-standing issue of whether faces are handled by a specific neural visual recognition system or if face and nonface objects share the same system. Here, I focus mainly on the parallel made by the authors, both at the theoretical and methodological levels, between long-term developmental difficulties for IFR—whatthey call congenital prosopagnosia (commonly named developmental prosopagnosia)—and the classic form of prosopagnosia, which follows brain damage in a typically developed individual.
