[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody deleted my post saying that they are literally saying they can't remember your face. Until Americans start seeing POC as HUMAN they will come up with all kinds of crap.
It is true, and it is race-connected. Who reported and deleted that comment?
Another racist on dcum?[/quote]

Facial memory is stored in a different part of he brain than other types of memory.

[b]So, yes, an older person may have trouble remember FACES but remember the person's overall "look" (such as height and hair shape or color[/b]).

You see EVERYTHING thru a racial lens. That must get exhausting.[/quote]

New poster. All other arguments on this thread aside, the bold above is TRUE. Anyone working with older patients (even those without formally diagnosed dementias) or not-so-old patients with certain conditions needs to understand this. The overall "look" or general outline of the person does matter very much to some patients. Not weighing in on this thread's whole "is it racist" wig debate, just saying that the line in bold is correct and people need to accept that fact and not assume that everyone can remember faces if they make enough effort. That is just not the case. And it's not about race, it's about the way the brain works, or does not work. .[/quote]
