“…The mechanisms underlying face recognition during development differ from those involved in other forms of visual recognition. Specifically, defects in face-specific mechanisms can lead to prosopagnosia, a condition that arises when specific parts of the brain are damaged or lesions occur [ 14 , 15 ]. However, there is promising evidence suggesting that the face processing system exhibits neural reorganization capabilities following injury, indicating a degree of plasticity [ 16 ].…”

Children with prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, struggle to recognize the faces of acquaintances, which can have a negative impact on their social interactions and overall functioning. This paper reviews existing research on interventions for children with prosopagnosia, including compensatory and remedial strategies, and provides a summary and comparison of their effectiveness. However, despite the availability of these interventions, their effectiveness remains limited and constrained by various factors. The lack of a widely accepted treatment for children with prosopagnosia emphasizes the need for further research to improve intervention strategies. Last, three future research directions were proposed to improve interventions for prosopagnosia, including ecological approaches, the social challenges faced by children, and new potential intervention methods.
