Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described fit with a diagnosis of prosopagnosia, which is a condition where individuals have difficulty recognizing faces, even those of close family members, despite being able to recognize voices and other aspects of the individual. Temporal lobe amnesia is characterized by memory deficits, hemifield neglect involves ignoring one side of space, and auditory transaphasia involves difficulty understanding spoken language. None of these explanations fully capture the patient's symptoms of face blindness.
