Automatic document summarization (ADS) has been introduced as a viable solution for reducing the time and the effort needed to read the ever-increasing textual content that is disseminated. However, a successful universal ADS algorithm has not yet been developed. Also, despite progress in the field, many ADS techniques do not take into account the needs of different readers, providing a summary without internal consistency and the consequent need to re-read the original document.

We report Developmental Landmark Agnosia (DLA) in a 6-year-old boy (L.G.) who was referred to
us for congenital prosopagnosia (see Pizzamiglio et al., 2017, in which both testing and
rehabilitation of Congenital Prosopagnosia are reported). We investigated his performance using a
neuropsychological battery and eye movement recordings. The assessment showed the presence
of deficits in recognizing familiar places (along with Congenital Prosopagnosia), but not common

Objective: To contribute to the limited body of eye movement (EM) studies of children and family members with
congenital prosopagnosia (CP), a task requiring a verbal response for the identification of personally familiar faces
was used for the 1st time. Method: EMs were recorded in a father and his son (both diagnosed with CP) and controls
(N 2). In the identification tasks they watched personally familiar faces and distracters and responded by saying

Deficits of visuospatial orienting in brain-damaged patients affected by hemispatial neglect have been extensively investigated. Nonetheless, spontaneous spatial orienting in naturalistic conditions is still poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role played by top down and stimulus-driven signals in overt spatial orienting of neglect patients during free viewing of short videos portraying everyday life situations.

Here we report the assessment and treatment of a 6-year-old boy (L.G.) who was referred to us for congenital prosopagnosia (CP). We investigated his performance using a test battery and eye movement recordings pre- and post-training. L.G. showed deficits in recognising relatives and learning new faces, and misrecognition of unfamiliar people. Eye movement recordings showed that L.G. focused on the lower part of stimuli in naming tasks based on familiar or unfamiliar incomplete or complete faces.
