The first part presents some studies in normal subjects. We observe that faces recognition is a very primitive behavior in human child, that the symmetry and some parts of a face may play a specific role, and that the right cerebral cortex is dominant for this function. Problems of specificity are also examined. Studies in pathological subjects are then presented. We examine some publications concerning child's psychiatry and neurology. Prosopagnosia, his associated symptoms, and the anatomical questions are then considered. Finally we examine researches concerning the relationships between brain lesions and the recognition of human faces, with a special attention to the mnesic processes and to the questions of specificity.
第一部分介绍了一些针对正常受试者的研究。我们观察到，面部识别是人类儿童非常原始的行为，面部的对称性和某些部分可能发挥特定作用，并且右大脑皮层在该功能中占主导地位。还研究了特异性问题。接着介绍了针对病理受试者的研究。我们审视了一些有关儿童精神病学和神经病学的出版物。然后考虑了人面失认症、其相关症状以及解剖学问题。最后，我们研究了有关脑损伤与人类面部识别之间关系的研究，特别关注记忆过程和特异性问题。
