Hmmm. Supposing that problem were to be applied at a subconscious level to the mechanism that recalls faces, perhaps poor connectivity between visualization and (that area) is one potential reason/mechanism why people have face blindness?
- jonplackett 5y agoI do sometimes struggle to recognise people if I don’t know them that well / they’ve changed their appearance substantially. I’m also terrible at finding things. I’ll be looking for, say, the butter in the fridge and it’ll be right there in my field of vision. And then when I find it I think “ooooh, that’s what that looks like!”. This brand of butter I’ve used for years and I couldn’t even remember what colour it was.
