[Interaction between schooling and physiognomic recognition: neuropsychological study in a group of patients with unilateral brain lesions].
Groups of left-hemisphere damaged patients, right-hemisphere damaged patients and controls were given the facial recognition test of Benton and Van Allen. Educational level was found to be relevant with regard to the performance of the brain damaged groups, such that a difference between left and right hemisphere-damaged groups became apparent only in patients with higher (greater than 5 years) schooling. The implications of the results are discussed.
