Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is defined by severe face recognition problems
resulting from a failure to develop the necessary visual mechanisms for
processing faces. While there is a growing literature on DP in adults, little has
been done to study this disorder in children. The profound impact of abnormal
face perception on social functioning and the general lack of awareness of
childhood DP can result in severe social and psychological consequences for
children. This review discusses possible aetiologies of DP and summarizes the few
cases of childhood DP that have been reported. It also outlines key objectives
for the growth of this emerging research area and special considerations for
studying DP in children. With clear goals and concerted efforts, the study of DP
in childhood will be an exciting avenue for enhancing our understanding of normal
and abnormal face perception for all age groups.
