面孔失认症是一种严重的神经心理学疾病，其特征是尽管具有正常的早期视觉处理和高级认知能力，但面孔身份识别仍存在严重缺陷。患有面容失认症的人很难识别朋友，家人，甚至自己的脸。神经学文献中关于面容失认症的报道可以追溯到世纪中期（维冈，1844），但霍夫和波茨尔（1937）以及后来的博达默（1947;参见埃利斯和佛罗伦萨，1990）首先提出，选择性面孔识别缺陷表明，面孔识别涉及与其他类型视觉识别不同的机制。这些关于面容失认症的早期研究启发了人们使用广泛的方法对这个问题进行进一步的研究（Gross，Rocha-Miranda，& Bender，1972; Sergent，Ohta，& MacDonald，1992; Yin，1969），但是尽管有数百项相关研究，关于面孔识别机制的争论仍在继续。对面孔和物体的分离处理的神经心理学支持来自于人脸识别和物体识别。有几个案例显示，在物体识别受损的情况下，面部识别得以保留或相对不受影响（Feinberg，Schindler，Ochoa，& Kwan，1994; McMullen，菲斯克，&菲利普斯，2000;
Prosopagnosia is a striking neuropsychological condition characterized by severe deficits in facial identity recognition despite normal early visual processing and high-level cognition. Individuals experiencing prosopagnosia have great difficulty recognizing friends, family, and even their own face. Reports of prosopagnosia in the neurological literature date back to the mid-19th century (Wigan, 1844), but Hoff and Potzl (1937) and then Bodamer (in 1947; see Ellis & Florence, 1990) were the first to suggest that selective face recognition deficits indicate that face recognition involves different mechanisms from those used for other types of visual recognition. These early studies of prosopagnosia inspired further investigations of this issue using a wide range of methods (Gross, Rocha-Miranda, & Bender, 1972; Sergent, Ohta, & MacDonald, 1992; Yin, 1969), but despite hundreds of relevant studies, debate about the mechanisms of face recognition continues.Neuropsychological support for separate processing for faces and objects comes from double dissociations between face recognition and object recognition. Several cases have shown preserved or relatively spared face recognition with impaired object recognition (Feinberg, Schindler, Ochoa, & Kwan, 1994; McMullen, Fisk, & Phillips, 2000;
