Congenital prosopagnosia. Diagnosis and mental imagery: commentary on "Tree JJ, and Wilkie J. Face and object imagery in congenital prosopagnosia: a case series.".
In a sample of four prosopagnosics Tree and Wilkie (2010) found an imagery deficit for faces, while the self-report questionnaires they used did not show any reduction in the vividness of visual mental imagery (VVMI). They did not find any reduction of mental imagery for objects or colors in their subjects. The authors tested the imagery with a set of questions about external and internal facia...
متن کاملFace and object imagery in congenital prosopagnosia: a case series.
It has been reported that congenital prosopagnosics may have a general imagery deficit or an imagery deficit specific to faces. However, much of this evidence is based on self-report questionnaires, rather than experimentally based testing (Grüter et al., 2007, 2009). This study tested face and non-face based imagery in a case series of congenital prosopagnosics, utilising both questionnaire ba...
متن کاملGalactose uncovers face recognition and mental images in congenital prosopagnosia: The first case report
A woman in her early 40s with congenital prosopagnosia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder observed for the first time sudden and extensive improvement of her face recognition abilities, mental imagery, and sense of navigation after galactose intake. This effect of galactose on prosopagnosia has never been reported before. Even if this effect is restricted to a subform of congenital pr...
متن کاملVisual mental imagery in congenital prosopagnosia.
Congenital prosopagnosia (cPA) is a selective impairment in the visual learning and recognition of faces without detectable brain damage or malformation. There is evidence that it can be inherited in an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. We assessed the capacity for visual mental imagery in 53 people with cPA using an adapted Marks' VVIQ (Vividness of Visual Imaging Questionnaire). The mea...
متن کاملModeling prosopagnosia: computational theory and experimental investigations of a deficit in face recognition
Prosopagnosia is defined as a profound deficit in facial identification which can be either acquired due to brain damage or is present from birth, i.e. congenital. Normally, faces and objects are processed in different parts of the inferotemporal cortex by distinct cortical systems for face vs. object recognition, an association of function and location. Accordingly, in acquired prosopagnosia l...
