very interesting, we thought it was our whole visual memory that was impaired, but our visual memory for the objects was spot on, it only seems to be the faces

we didn't score as badly as we feared, but badly enough to be sure we are not good with new faces

we actually have quite a funny story about this. When we first joined a very large committee, we took notes on ppls' appearances coz we knew we had a problem with recognizing ppl & attaching the names to the faces. BUt when we got home, nearly all the descriptions read exactly the same except some of them were men & some were women The descriptions of their glasses frames & the womens' rings were much better, but ppl buy NEW glasses, lololol, & they don't wear the rings to cat shows, lololol.

AND we don't have a problem remembering the animals faces & names only the PEOPLE !!!!!

we would like to keep discussing this, coz it seems fairly weird

does anyone have any thoughts on how to improve this ? it can be very embarrassing & inconvenient, especially in a business setting

maybe we could get one of those mobile phones that takes photos & label them
