Abstract
⺠We tested the specificity of impairment in a prosopagnosic individual (LR) who uses only a single feature to identify faces. ⺠LR was able to reach expertise criterion for Greebles, though he took many more training sessions than controls. ⺠Post-tests revealed that LR used only a single feature to identify Greebles, whereas controls used multiple features. ⺠LR's face recognition deficit is the most apparent symptom of a more general impairment in expertise-related visual processing. ⺠Even when performance for object recognition is high, a range of paradigms is helpful to assess how recognition is accomplished.
