Prosopagnosia-
Also called face blindness, is an impairment in the recognition of
faces. It is often accompanied by other types of recognition impairments
(place recognition, car recognition, facial expression of emotion,
etc.) though sometimes it appears to be restricted to facial identity.
Not surprisingly, prosopagnosia can create serious social problems.
Prosopagnosics often have difficulty recognizing family members, close
friends, and even themselves. They often use alternative routes to
recognition, but these routes are not as effective as recognition
via the face. 3/5

Agnosia
- Is inability to identify an object using one or more of the senses.
Diagnosis is clinical, often including neuropsychologic testing, with
brain imaging (eg, CT, MRI) to identify the cause. Prognosis depends
on the nature and extent of damage and patient age. There is no specific
treatment, but occupational therapy may help patients compensate.
