People with congenital prosopagnosia have never developed the ability to accurately recognize faces. This single case investigation systematically investigates covert and overt face recognition in "C.," a 69 year-old woman with congenital prosopagnosia. Specifically, we: (a) describe the first assessment of covert face recognition in congenital prosopagnosia using multiple tasks; (b) show that semantic information can contribute to covert recognition; and (c) provide a theoretical explanation for the mechanisms underlying covert face recognition.
先天性面容失认症患者从未发展出准确识别面孔的能力。本个案研究系统地调查了“C.”（一位 69 岁的先天性面容失认症女性）的隐性和显性面孔识别。具体来说，我们：(a) 描述了使用多种任务对先天性面容失认症的隐性面孔识别的首次评估；(b) 表明语义信息可以有助于隐性识别；以及 (c) 为隐性面孔识别的机制提供了理论解释。
