CFMT = Cambridge Face Memory Test; CCMT = Cambridge Car Memory Test; up = upright; inv = inverted; algn = aligned; mislagn = misaligned. Reliability coefficients were calculated with bootstrapped Spearman–Brown adjusted split-half method and, where possible, with Cronbach’s alpha. Statistical significance of difference between groups’ reliability coefficients was calculated as difference between correlations for unadjusted split-half reliability coefficients and with the Bonett formula for Cronbach’s alpha (Bonett, 2003). The ratio between prosopagnosics and controls reliability coefficients was calculated by dividing controls reliability coefficients by prosopagnosics reliability coefficients. * Statistically significant p values
