Multiple Choice

• B) unlike other objects, information about faces does not pass through the primary visual cortex.
• C) we recognize faces in terms of their entire shape, rather than in terms of their isolated features.
• D) because faces are so complex, we take a long time to recognize that an object is a face; in contrast, we recognize simpler objects much more quickly.
