Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capgras syndrome is characterized by the belief that familiar people have been replaced by impostors, while confabulation refers to the production of false memories or experiences without the intention to deceive. In this case, Charles does not recognize his family members, but his belief that they are impostors is a result of Capgras syndrome rather than confabulation.
