Card 8 / 20: The inability to recognize people by their faces is a troublesome problem. It can be caused by trauma, or it may be inborn. Watch this video ( http://openstaxcollege.org/l/faces ) to learn more about a person who lost the ability to recognize faces as the result of an injury. She cannot recognize the faces of close family members or herself. What other information can a person suffering from prosopagnosia use to figure out whom they are seeing?
Answer:
Even if a person cannot recognize a person's face, other cues such as clothing, hairstyle, or a particular feature such as a prominent nose or facial hair, can help make an identification.
