Impairments of Biological Motion Perception in Congenital Prosopagnosia

Abstract: Prosopagnosia is a deficit in recognizing people from their faces. Acquired prosopagnosia results after brain damage, developmental or congenital prosopagnosia (CP) is not caused by brain lesion, but has presumably been present from early childhood onwards. Since other sensory, perceptual, and cognitive abilities are largely spared, CP is considered to be a stimulus-specific deficit, limited to face processing. Given that recent behavioral and imaging studies indicate a close relationship of face and biologica… Show more

“…The difference in performance observed for the CPs in the no-alert condition, compared to the alert one, is particularly intriguing given previous interpretation by Weinbach & Henik (2011; The results are consistent with previous findings indicating that CPs exhibit difficulties in deriving global/ holistic perception using face and non-face stimuli (Avidan, et al, 2011;Barton, 2009;Bentin, et al, 2007;Kimchi, et al, 2012;Lange, et al, 2009;Palermo, et al, 2011;Tanzer, et al, 2013) and stress the critical role of these impaired mechanisms in the deficiency in these individuals.…”

“…Hence, for the purpose of the present study, we will Accumulating findings show that individuals with CP experience a difficulty in deriving holistic relations between facial features (e.g., eyes, nose and mouth) and a bias toward local processing of faces (Avidan, Tanzer, & Behrmann, 2011;Behrmann, Avidan, Marotta, & Kimchi, 2005;Kimchi, Behrmann, Avidan, & Amishav, 2012;Lange et al, 2009;Palermo, et al, 2011;Susilo, et al, 2010. But see also (DeGutis, Chatterjee, Mercado, & Nakayama, 2012a;Le Grand et al, 2006).…”

“…This lends support to the theory that neural processing of static and moving faces may dissociate (Pitcher et al, 2014), and at least some elements of facial biological motion perception (perhaps those that rely on separate processes from static faces) may be preserved in prosopagnosia (Lange et al, 2009). Consequently, facial motion may serve as an efficient supplementary strategy for some individuals with prosopagnosia.…”
