“…These strategies are essential in assisting individuals with prosopagnosia to distinguish others by Facing the Best in Handling Prosopagnosia utilising extra-facial information and may include sorts of focusing on distinguishing characteristics, physical defects, specific body movements, voice, hairstyle, glasses, clothing, or ornamentation (Adams et al, 2019). Not surprisingly, in real life, prosopagnosic individuals naturally quickly learn to rely unconsciously to some extent on voice recognition and picking up other visual cues (Leff & Barton, 2021;Portch et al, 2023).…”

Prosopagnosia, a condition impairing face recognition, poses profound challenges in daily life and social interactions. Remedial techniques seek to restore face recognition skills through training, while compensatory approaches focus on practical strategies. The later ones are often seen as a more practical solution to individuals with prosopagnosia and hence more effective. This review assesses the comparative efficacy of compensatory and remedial interventions for acquired and developmental prosopagnosia. Compensatory methods, particularly for developmental prosopagnosia, improve face recognition skills, but generalisation questions persist. Remedial techniques demonstrate promise, enhancing perceptual skills in both developmental and acquired prosopagnosia. However, their realworld impact remains uncertain. Instead of debating their relative effectiveness, future research should find standardised protocols, evaluate long-term outcomes, and explore training's ecological validity.
