Faces Out of Focus: Examining the relationship between Prosopagnosia and ADHD

Streaming Media

Description

Recent studies have highlighted the presence of comorbidities (co-occurring deficits) in developmental prosopagnosia (DP), a disorder characterized by difficulty in facial recognition. That said, there is very little understanding of the neural mechanisms that may be shared between DP and other disorders, or how prevalent these comorbidities may be. In this Edgren Scholar project, Dr. Sherryse Corrow and recent Bethel graduate Ian Young examine the degree to which DP and ADHD are connected. By exploring the relationship between DP and co-morbidities like ADHD, they hope to not only introduce a better understanding of prosopagnosia's developmental origins but also pave the way for future research on how to properly diagnose and treat these conditions.
