Detailed explanation-1: -For starters, our brains are far better equipped at storing visual data, such as a face, than a briefly heard name. “We are visual creatures, ‘’ says E. Clea Warburton, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Bristol.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prosopagnosia is a condition that affects your brain only. However, it doesn’t just interfere with your ability to recognize faces. This condition is often a source of anxiety for people. That’s because many feel embarrassed or ashamed that they struggle to remember faces while others have no trouble with it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because names don’t have any other cues attached to them, they often get stored in the brain’s short-term memory (that mostly registers things we hear), to be easily replaced by the next piece of information we encounter, according to neuroscientist Dean Burnett.
