Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the area on the underside of the right hemisphere responsible for recognizing faces results in prosopagnosia, which is the inability to recognize familiar faces. Transduction is the process of converting sensory stimuli into neural signals, sensory adaptation refers to the diminishing sensitivity to constant or repetitive stimuli, and signal detection involves distinguishing between relevant and irrelevant stimuli in a noisy environment. None of these options are related to the condition of prosopagnosia.
