Psychology says people who forget the names of acquaintances but just remember their faces aren't forgetful: What this common memory pattern means?

Psychology says people who forget the names of acquaintances but just remember their faces aren't always dealing with poor memory. Research shows that the human brain often processes faces and names through different memory systems. Many people recognize someone immediately but struggle to recall their name. This behavior has links to how memory works, attention, recall, and social interactions rather than a lack of intelligence or interest.
