developmental prosopagnosia  

Définition

  • "Developmental prosopagnosia, also known as congenital prosopagnosia or ‘face blindness’, is a lifelong condition that affects individuals’ ability to recognise faces. Unlike cases of acquired prosopagnosia, where people encounter face recognition difficulties as an adult following a stroke or traffic accident, individuals with developmental prosopagnosia develop recognition problems in the absence of manifest brain injury. Individuals with developmental prosopagnosia experience difficulties recognising faces despite normal intelligence, memory, and typical low-level vision." (Cook & Biotti, 2016, p. R312).
