Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosopagnosia or face blindness refers to the difficulty in recognizing familiar faces, despite having intact vision and cognitive functioning. It is usually caused by damage or abnormalities in the fusiform gyrus, which is responsible for recognizing and processing faces. Damage to the parietal lobe or MT cortex, on the other hand, may cause spatial or movement-related deficits, respectively, but not necessarily affect face recognition.
