Developmental prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize faces, is rare and likely has multiple subtypes. This review suggests assessment strategies and discusses potential causes for this face recognition deficit.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Developmental Disorders

Background:

  • Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder.
  • Individuals with DP have a lifelong inability to recognize faces.
  • Limited case reports exist due to the condition's low incidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on developmental prosopagnosia.
  • To propose assessment strategies for individuals with DP.
  • To discuss potential etiological hypotheses and the selectivity of face recognition deficits.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published studies on developmental prosopagnosia.
  • Analysis of available case reports and functional data.
  • Synthesis of hypotheses regarding the condition's origins and subtypes.

Main Results:

  • Developmental prosopagnosia may not be a single entity but comprises distinct subforms.
  • Functional impairments can differentiate these subforms.
  • Evidence suggests varied etiologies and selective face recognition deficits.

Conclusions:

  • DP is a complex condition with potential for multiple underlying mechanisms.
  • Standardized assessment strategies are needed for accurate diagnosis.
  • Further research is required to elucidate the specific causes and subtypes of DP.
