Evidence for a Classical Dissociation between Face and Object Recognition in Developmental Prosopagnosia
1. Introduction Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a disorder characterized by a severe lifelong impairment in the ability to learn and recognize faces that cannot be ascribed to neurological disorders, low-level visual deficits such as poor acuity, or intellectual reduction [1]. There is little consensus on the criteria for the classification of the disorder [1,2,3,4], and the estimates of its prevalence vary from 1 to 5%, depending on the specific criteria used for classification [5].

Topographic processing in developmental prosopagnosia: Preserved perception but impaired memory of scenes
At a group level, the TM performance level of DPs (M?=?7.67, 95% CI [6.20, 8.87]) was reliably poorer than that of controls (M?=?10.06, 95% CI [9.29, 10.75]), t(25)?=??3.47, p?=?.002, Cohen’s d (pooled SD)?=?1.36 (see Figure 2). Also, better performance was associated with faster reaction times in the control group, r(18)?=??.519, p?=?.027, 95% CI [?.767, ?.026].
On the Relation between Face and Object Recognition in Developmental Prosopagnosia: No Dissociation but a Systematic Association
It is debated whether face recognition and object recognition constitute separate cognitive domains [1]. Clarification of this issue can have important theoretical implications as face recognition is often used as a prime example of domain-specificity in mind and brain [2]. Domain-specificity entails the proposition that specialized cognitive functions (and brain areas) can and have evolved to handle very specific types of information; e.g., processing of faces and faces only.
