Prosopagnosia: a clinical, psychological, and anatomical study of three patients.

Year: 1977

Type: article

Abstract: Three patients with prosopagnosia are described of whom two had right occipital lesions. An analysis of visual and perceptual functions demonstrated a defect in perceptual classification which appeared to be stimulus-specific. A special mechanism for facial recognition is postulated, and the importance of the right sided posterior lesion is stressed.
