Description

<p>  Congenital prosopagnosia (CP) refers to lifelong and severe impairment of face recognition without vi sual dysfunction, intellectual disability or neurological disorders. Some individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) also show face recognition deficits as the ability to recognize a person from their facial appearance is essential for normal social interaction. This article introduced two cases of CP and reviewed some neuropsychological studies of face recognition in developmental disorders. It is suggested that face recognition deficit in CP is qualitatively different from its deficit in ASD according to our preliminary study of face recognition and eye gaze behavior.</p>
