Compare and contrast studies of cognitively ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ individuals in this domain.

Over the last three decades, much of the data for various cognitive models has come from individuals suffering from different types of cognitive impairment. These studies have allowed for the development of many theories of ‘normal’ cognitive function For example, studies of patients with prosopagnosia have informed the development of the Bruce and Young model of face recognition (see Young, 1998, https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198524205.001.0001).

For this report, choose one cognitive impairment and discuss specific ways the selected impairment impacts memory and cognition.
