{{Main|Prosopagnosia}}
Individuals are usually shown pictures of human faces that may be familiar to them such as famous actors, singers, politicians or family members.  The pictures shown to the patient are selected to be age and culture appropriate.  The task involves the examiner asking the individual to name each face.  If the individual cannot name whose face appears in the picture, the examiner may ask a question that would help to recognize the face in the picture.<ref name="M.S.Burns (2004)" />
