Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness,  is a condition where a person cannot recognize faces, even their own.
At first it was thought to be a condition caused by severe brain damage (acquired prosopagnosia).
It may be caused by a head injury to the temporal lobe of the brain.
However, a congenital (inherited birth defect) or developmental form of the disorder does exist, with a prevalence rate of 2.5%.
That is quite a high rate.
What this defect shows is that our picture of the world is built up by various brain systems, and we do not notice how this is done.
It seems seamless and automatic.
Actually, there are many brain mechanisms which normally work together, tying the visual scene to memory so that we recall vital information.
It is difficult to think of anything more vital than remembering who we know, and what their relationship is to us.
People with prosopagnosia never develop the ability to recognize faces.
They may be able to rely on other physical features, such as the way someone walks and talks, their hair color, their height and build, etc.
Prosopagnosia is not curable or treatable.
The opposite of prosopagnosia is the skill of superior face recognition ability.
People with this ability are called "super recognizers".
Prosopagnosia can be caused by lesions (damage or changes to body tissue) in the lower part of the brain.
It can also be caused by damaging the nerves in the lower part of the brain, called 'acquired prosopagnosia'.
It can be caused by birth defects, carbon monoxide poisoning, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), Parkinson's disease, or Alzheimer's disease.
An analysis of family inheritance (pedigree trees) suggest that a dominant gene mutation may be the root cause of the condition when it is present from birth.
This mode of inheritance explains why HPA is so common among certain families.
An account of a woman who cannot recognise her own face is an example of prosopagnosia.
Its special interest is that she can recognise all inanimate objects, and all animals except humans  and chimpanzees!

Alois Brunner (8 April 1912 – c. 2010) was an Austrian Schutzstaffel (SS) officer.
Brunner was wanted for war crimes, and was Adolf Eichmann's assistant.
Eichmann referred to Brunner as his "best man".
Brunner was wanted for sending at least 140,000 European Jews to the gas chambers.
He was commander of the Drancy internment camp outside Paris from June 1943 to August 1944, from which nearly 24,000 people were deported.
He was sentenced to death in absentia in France in 1954 for crimes against humanity.
In 1961 and in 1980, Brunner lost an eye and the fingers of his left hand, as a result of letter bombs sent to him by the Israeli intelligence service, called Mossad.
In 2003, the Guardian described him as "the world's highest-ranking Nazi fugitive believed still alive".
Brunner was last reported to be living in Syria, whose government had long refused international efforts to locate or apprehend him.
There were rumours that he would be extradited, however, after the Syrian Civil War broke out it became hard to negotiate any kind of settlement with the Assad regime, which controlled Syria during Brunner's stay.
Other sources suggest he died already in December 2001.
He was sentenced again, now to life imprisonment, in France the same year.
It has been determined that Brunner helped the Syrian government develop chemical weapons which were later allegedly used on rebels.

John Lawrence Seigenthaler (; July 27, 1927 – July 11, 2014) was an American journalist, writer, and political figure.
He was known as an avid supporter of First Amendment rights.

He retired as chairman emeritus in 1991.
Seigenthaler was also founding editorial director of USA Today from 1982 to 1991.
Wikipedia incident
On May 26, 2005, an unregistered Wikipedia user created a five-sentence biographical article about Seigenthaler that contained false and defamatory content.
The false statement in Seigenthaler's Wikipedia article read:
John Seigenthaler Sr.
was the assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy in the early 1960s.
For a brief time, he was thought to have been directly involved in the Kennedy assassinations of both John, and his brother, Bobby.
Nothing was ever proven.
When he found out about this, Seigenthaler directly talked to Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, who removed the false claims.
As Seigenthaler later wrote: "For four months, Wikipedia depicted me as a suspected assassin before Wales erased it from his website's history" on October 5.
In April 2014, the Shelby Street Bridge was renamed the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in his honor.
While reporting for The Tennessean in the 1950s, Seigenthaler once prevented a suicidal man from jumping off the bridge.
Seigenthaler died of complications from colon cancer on July 11, 2014, at the age of 86.
He was surrounded by his family in his home.

Life's a Dance is the debut studio album by John Michael Montgomery.
The album was released on October 13, 1992.
The ride
After the riders have been loaded onto the train at the station, the train is first hooked up to a catch car that is under the train.
The train has to move back to hook onto the catch car in order to launch.
After 2.3 seconds, the train is released from the catch car, and travels at a speed of  from the station.
The train then travels over a  tower, or top hat element, and after that it travels through a 110 ft over banked turn, and then a 95 ft over banked turn before coming to a smooth stop over magnetic brakes.
Sometimes, a train does not have enough speed to make it over the  top hat element.
If that happens, a train tries to go up the tower, stop, then roll back to the station.
This is called a shortshot, and it is part of the ride's design.
A shortshot can cause the ride to be closed for a period of time while the ride is reset and tested several times before it can be opened again.
Rain, weight, the number of time its launched, the outside temperature, and overheating can cause a shortshot.
Xcelerator will not operate in the rain so that a shortshot does not happen when the launch track is wet.
Then the track needs to dry until it is safe to test the roller coaster.
This happens so that a shortshot does not happen.

Programmed learning (or 'programmed instruction') is a research-based system which helps learners work successfully.
The method is guided by research done by a variety of applied psychologists and educators.
The learning material is in a kind of textbook or teaching machine or computer.
The medium presents the material in a logical and tested sequence.
The text is in small steps or larger chunks.
After each step, learners are given a question to test their comprehension.
Then immediately the correct answer is shown.
This means the learner at all stages makes responses, and is given immediate knowledge of results.
Thorndike, however, did nothing with his idea.
The first such system was devised by Sidney L. Pressey in 1926. "
The first.. [teaching machine] was developed by Sidney L. Pressey... While originally developed as a self-scoring machine... [it] demonstrated its ability to actually teach".
In World War II, with largely conscript armies, there was great emphasis on training.
What was learnt influenced education and training after the war.
One of the main methods was the use of movies as a group training method.
Research on the effectiveness of training films was done extensively.
In one account, Lumsdaine comments that research on films went on "from about 1918 to the present" (meaning 1962).
A few conclusions stood out from the research.
One was that films were great at giving overviews of a situation or an operation.
However, they were less successful at getting over the details.
Some general features of film (and, later, television) stand out.
One is that a film goes at its own pace.
Another is that no specific responses or activities are required from the viewer.
A third is that the audience is varied, sometimes hugely varied.
This gives clues to ways of improving instructional films.
In a 1946 experiment at Yale University, questions for students were put between segments of a film on the heart and circulation, with correct answers given after students had responded (knowledge of results).
This added significantly to the amount learnt from the film.
Lumsdaine commented that even showing the basic film twice was not so effective as showing the version with questions and answers.612
The connections between this experiment and those of Pressey were obvious.
Active responses by learners and helpful feedback on the activities were now seen as critical elements in any successful system of learning.
Pressey's work had been half forgotten, but it was now recognised as significant.
Programmed learning arrives
What is programmed learning?
If so much research had already been done on learning from films, what exactly did programmed learning add?
The short answer is "stimulus control", by which is broadly meant the teaching material itself.
Also, in programmed learning, a complete system was proposed which included these stages:
The aims of the course are stated in terms which are objective, and can be measured.
A pre-test is given, or the initial behaviour is stated.
A post-test is provided.
The materials have been tried out and revised according to results (developmental testing).
The materials are constructed according to a predetermined scheme (stimulus control).
The material is arranged in appropriate steps.
The learner has to respond actively (not necessarily overtly).
Arrangements are made for responses to be confirmed (knowledge of results).
The teaching medium is appropriate for the subject-matter and the students.
The materials are self-paced or presented in a manner which suits the learner.
The two main systems
One was by Norman Crowder, a psychologist with the U.S. Air Force.
He had been asked to investigate the training of aircraft maintenance men.
Crowder's system was to set multiple choice questions in the text, and provide feedback for each of the alternatives.
Examples of this method show that the alternatives offered in questions were chosen to cover mistakes which students were likely to make.
Much better known was the other style of programmed learning, as proposed by the behaviourist B.F. Skinner.
Skinner made some very effective criticisms of traditional teaching methods.
His scheme of programmed instruction was to present the material as part of a "schedule of reinforcement" in typical behaviourist manner.
The programmed text of Skinner's theory of behaviorism is the most complete example of his ideas in action.
Skinner was a wonderful publicist for his own ideas, as can be seen from this passage:
"There is a simple job to be done.
The task can be stated in concrete terms.
The necessary techniques are known.
The equipment can easily be provided.
Nothing stands in the way except cultural inertia... We are on the threshold of an exciting and revolutionary period in which the scientific study of man will be put to work in man's best interests.
Education must play its part.
It must accept the fact that sweeping revision of educational practice is possible and inevitable...".
Both methods were originally presented in machines, and both were later presented in book form.
Both systems were to an extent student centered.
They were ways of teaching individual learners who worked at their own pace.
Both systems (in different ways) used knowledge of results to promote learning.p619 In both systems the content was pre-tested to identify problems and iron them out.
Both systems emphasised clear learning objectives.
Progress in learning was measured by pre- and post-tests of equivalent difficulty.
Many practical tests showed the effectiveness of these methods.
Sidney L. Pressey (Brooklyn, New York, 1888  1979) was Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University for many years.
He is famous for having invented a teaching machine many years before the idea became popular.
"The first.. [teaching machine] was developed by Sidney L. Pressey... While originally developed as a self-scoring machine... [it] demonstrated its ability to actually teach".
Pressey joined Ohio State in 1921, and stayed there until he retired in 1959.
He continued publishing after retirement, with 18 papers between 1959 and 1967.
He was  a cognitive psychologist who "rejected a view of learning as an accumulation of responses governed by environmental stimuli in favor of one governed by meaning, intention, and purpose".
