Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carmen most likely has prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, which makes it difficult for her to recognize and remember faces. This would explain why she greets Damian's dog but not Damian himself until he speaks to her, and why she doesn't immediately recognize Ryan standing next to his car. Agnosia is a condition that impairs recognition and identification of objects, apraxia is difficulty with motor planning and execution, and aphasia is a language impairment.
