This is presumably why the first part, published in 1889, has the heading II before its title Ueber optische Aphasie und Seelenblindheit.

We review evidence for a protracted development of object recognition that is reminiscent of the well-documented slow maturation observed for faces. The prolonged development manifests itself in a retarded processing of metric part relations as opposed to that of individual parts and offers surprising parallels to developmental accounts of face recognition, even though the interpretati…
