“
The Cambridge Face Memory Task - This task requires you to memorize and recall the faces of six individuals. Our collaborators have identified that there is a tendency for individuals with prosopagnosia (the inability to recognize faces) to also experience topographical disorientation (more information here). We included this task to further gather data on the relationship between understanding faces and understanding places.”

I believe I am face blind. I have walked past my mother in town once because I didn’t recognize her in her new jumper. I remember people by their coats or hair style. When I worked in face to face sales I use to actively make a mental note of the customers coats or hair colour to help remember them better.
