I am doing a critical review on whether face recognition uses a separate perceptual system from object recognition. I have studies showing prosopagnosics having impaired face recognition but normal object recognition (suggesting they are different). I have been trying to find a study to go against this finding but have found nothing.
All i could find is this line from someone’s lecture notes online "Face recognition isn’t special: Actually, prosopagnosics often show impaired recognition ability for non-face objects 'within' a category (e.g., birds, cars, etc).
However, i can't find any study to support this. Anyone have any ideas? I know my Q is very far fetched but I’m desperate I’ve been searching for hours! Thanks

I'm not aware of any which suggest this but i would imagine the best place to look would be on psychlit if you are a member.
I also agree with the guy who said look into neurology. To extend this look into biological foundations of psychology as prosopagnosia and all other forms of recognition difficulty tend to be researched in ABI and TBI patients.
Fascinating subject by the way.

Dig into neurology sites.
Just like any other CNS damage, proprosagnosia has different severity levels. Howard Goodenough was a neurologist who studied it. You might want to Google him.
