    Faces are processed differently by our visual system. There is a condition called prosopagnosia or face blindness which affects about 2.5% of the population. I wonder if there are milder forms that are not as well known or studied.

      Oh I’m awful with faces. If I see someone I know outside of the context in which I know them I won’t recognize them. Like running into a coworker at the grocery store I won’t realize who they are unless they come speak to me and then it takes a second to click.
