Prosopagnosia

Prosopagnosia is an impairment in the recognition of faces. It is also known as face blindness. This is when people suffer to recognize people that they have encountered many times. Many people deal with this by recognizing things that are not facial features, for example, hair, clothes, or voice. In most cases people are diagnosed with this because of an accident or any type of head trauma or stroke. People suffer in everyday life when they have prosopagnosia because they do not recognize loved ones like their spouses or children,
