New evidence suggests covert face recognition in prosopagnosia relies on the same mechanism as overt recognition. However, distinct mechanisms may underlie different measures of covert face recognition, like skin conductance and behavioral responses.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuropsychology

Background:

  • Discusses new evidence on covert face recognition in prosopagnosia.
  • Examines findings by Bobes et al. and Sperber and Spinnler regarding face recognition mechanisms.

Discussion:

  • Explores the prerequisite of successful facial representation encoding for covert recognition.
  • Presents evidence for dissociation between skin conductance and behavioral indexes of covert recognition in Capgras delusion and prosopagnosia patients.
  • Analyzes implications for models of normal face recognition.

Key Insights:

  • Covert and overt face recognition likely share the same underlying mechanism.
  • Dissociations exist between different covert face recognition measures.
  • Facial representation encoding is crucial for covert recognition.

Outlook:

  • Reviews neurophysiological and brain imaging evidence for the neural system of face processing.
  • Suggests emerging understanding of the relationship between ERP components (N170, N250r, N400) and cognitive processes in face recognition.
