What Is the Face Inversion Effect and How Does It Relate to Prosopagnosia?
š” The Answer
- Typically people recognize upright faces much better than inverted faces.
- This inversion effect is reduced in prosopagnosia, indicating holistic processing deficits.
- Healthy brains process faces holistically; inversion disrupts this ability.
- Prosopagnosics may process faces part-by-part, similarly to objects.
