Noun
prosopagnosia (countable and uncountable, plural prosopagnosias)
- (neurology, pathology, psychology) A form of visual agnosia characterized by difficulty with face recognition despite intact low-level visual processing.
- 1984, Robert Axelrod, The Evolution of Cooperation, page 102:
- A normal person can name someone from facial features alone, even if the features have changed substantially over the years. People with prosopagnosia are not able to make this association, but have few other neurological symptoms other than a loss of some part of the visual field.
