- aged 18-90,
- have lifelong histories of face recognition difficulties that impact their everyday life (i.e., not associated with some event such as a stroke, seizure, etc)
- score significantly below the mean on the famous faces test and Cambridge Face Memory Test

- have a history of a significant neurological disorder including hydrocephalus, stroke, moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe neuromuscular diseases, or severe hypoxia due to cardiac arrest.
- have impairments that interfere with cognitive performance, such as uncorrected hearing or vision, lack of English proficiency, musculoskeletal or other issues
- have psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, chronic intractable obsessive-compulsive disorder, or agoraphobia.
- We will exclude individuals who are currently dependent on alcohol or other substances, as this may negatively impact cognitive performance.
- We will exclude participants who currently are, or within the last 6 months, participating in a behavioral or pharmacological intervention.
