在人脸感知的主导模型中，人脸身份和表情的识别是通过不同的机制进行的。在这份报告中，我们提供的证据支持这些过程的独立性，通过记录一个人的面部身份识别严重受损，但面部表情的情绪识别正常。NM是一名40岁的面孔失认症患者，在六项面部身份识别测试中，有五项表现严重受损。相比之下，她在四项不同的情绪识别测试中的表现都在正常范围内。由于身份识别和情感识别的测试以各种方式评估了她的能力，这些结果为身份识别和情感识别由单独的过程执行的模型提供了坚实的支持。
In the leading model of face perception, facial identity and facial expressions of emotion are recognized by separate mechanisms. In this report, we provide evidence Supporting the independence of these processes by documenting an individual with severely impaired recognition of facial identity yet normal recognition of facial expressions of emotion. NM, a 40-year-old prosopagnosic, showed severely impaired performance on five of six tests of facial identity recognition. In contrast, she performed in the normal range on four different tests of emotion recognition. Because the tests of identity recognition and emotion recognition assessed her abilities in a variety of ways, these results provide solid support for models in which identity recognition and emotion recognition are performed by separate processes.
