“Prosopagnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by the inability to recognize faces”.
I think I have some sort of light prosopagnosia because it’s tough for me to recognize new acquantainces’ faces (it can be embarassing). Maybe I meet a mom of my kids’ friends one day and the next I might not recognize her, for example.
I’ve realized lately that when I try to remember people’s faces, even if it’s someone very close to me, the only way I can do it is remembering a portrait picture of them. If I try to remember them as I saw them in real life, I can’t, unless I’ve seen them very recently, like the same day.
Does this happen to any of you too?
