Holistic processing of body configurations in congenital prosopagnosia

Willems Sam, Chorkawa Roxanne, and Verfaillie Karl Faculty of Psychology & Educational Sciences, Laboratory of Experimental Psychology, University of Leuven contacts: sam.willems@ppw.kuleuven.be; karl.verfaillie@ppw.kuleuven.be Background information Previous studies suggests that the identity of the human body is processed visually in a holistic fashion. Furthermore, recent studies in this field provide evidence that not only identity information, but also postural information is visually processed holistically[1,2]. Holistic processing of body postures is defined as the processing of the hierarchical interconnectivities and relations between limbs, head, and torso. Congenital prosopagnosia patients, a disorder characterized by innate facial recognition and discrimination problems, seem to rely more on other cues to recognize and discriminate between people[3]. The current study explores whether these patients show modified proficiency in body posture discrimination in comparison to healthy, age-and-gender matched controls. The current experiment is a direct follow-up to a previous set of experiments exploring face processing proficiency in CP patients and healthy controls.
