Autistic prosopagnosics do not show face inversion effect and have no general memory impairment. Non-prosopagnosic autistic participants (AUT-NP, N = 42, light blue dots) showed a face inversion effect, that is they performed better on upright (gray bars) vs. inverted (white bars) faces, while prosopagnosic autistic participants (AUT-P, N = 22, dark blue dots) did not. AUT-P did not show a general memory impairment, that is, although they performed worse than AUT-NP on upright faces, they did not differ from AUT-NP on inverted faces. The red asterisk indicates that AUT-NP performance at the upright CFMT differs from all other conditions (ps < 0.05). The dashed horizontal line indicates the CFMT chance level which corresponds to 24 correct responses
