what causes it?
What is the medical terminology for inability or difficulty in recognized familiar faces ?
It's called Prosopagnosia. Nobody was really aware of it or studying it until a few years ago. Right now Harvard is doing a big study on it to try to figure out what causes it. There are currently a lot of theories about what causes it, but no solid answers yet.
It does seem to be genetic in some cases. It's also linked to autistic disorders. It can be the result of head trauma. It can also be the result of people who were nearsighted during childhood but didn't get vision correction for it.
Reply:I always call this " If you are important in my life, I will remember you!"
