When May a Child Who Is Visually Impaired Recognize a Face?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Karen and George: Face Recognition by Visually Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ellis, Hadyn D.; And Others – British Journal of Visual Impairment, 1988
Two visually impaired children, aged 8 and 10, appeared to have severe difficulty in recognizing faces. After assessment, it became apparent that only one had unusually poor facial recognition skills. After training, which included matching face photographs, schematic faces, and digitized faces, there was no evidence of any improvement.…
