The goal of this proposal is to better characterize the cognitive and neural basis of face perception heterogeneity in developmental prosopagnosia (DP) and to test whether potential perceptual subtypes are better suited for one type of cognitive training program vs. another. This is relevant to the National Eye Institute's mission to better treat visual disorders and understand mechanisms of visual function. Our pilot results (N=45 DPs) provide preliminary evidence that there are perceptually-impaired (PI-DPs) and perceptually-unimpaired (PU-DPs) DP subgroups that may be mechanistically distinct. We find that PI-DPs have deficient eye processing, reduced holistic processing abilities,…
