发展性面容失认症的特征是面孔身份识别的严重缺陷。大多数发育性面容失认症患者没有报告面部年龄或性别感知的缺陷。我们开发了评估面部年龄和性别处理的任务，并将其用于最大的一组发展prosopagnosics（N=18）测试面部年龄和性别感知。注意确保测试对细微缺陷足够敏感，并且需要整体处理，如通过对照受试者中的强反转效应所评估的。尽管严重的面部识别缺陷，发展prosopagnosics主要进行这些歧视的控制。常见的描述faceblind所暗示的术语prosopagnosia是不准确的，因为某些类型的非身份的面部信息，我们称之为容貌特征，处理以及由prosopagnosics和年龄匹配的controls.Normal面部年龄和性别知觉的发展prosopagnosics是一致的平行加工模型的面部加工的认知结构。
Developmental prosopagnosia is characterized by a severe deficit in face-identity recognition. Most developmental prosopagnosics do not report deficits of facial age or gender perception. We developed tasks for evaluating facial age and gender processing and used them in the largest group of developmental prosopagnosics (N=18) tested on facial age and gender perception. Care was taken to ensure that the tests were sufficiently sensitive to subtle deficits and required holistic processing as assessed by strong inversion effects in control subjects. Despite severe facial identity deficits, developmental prosopagnosics largely performed these discriminations comparably to controls. The common descriptor faceblind implied by the term prosopagnosia is inaccurate as certain kinds of nonidentity facial information, which we call physiognomic features, are processed well by both prosopagnosics and age-matched controls alike.Normal facial age and gender perception in developmental prosopagnosics is consistent with parallel processing models in the cognitive architecture of face processing.
