Answer to Question 1

Answer: Knowledge, beliefs, goals, and expectations also influence perception. partial answer

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Damage to the ventral temporal cortex is associated with difficulties in recognizing all types of objects. This suggests that recognition is a single process distributed across the brain. However, research also indicates that the fusiform gyrus is primarily responsive to faces in upright orientations and that damage to this part of the brain is associated with the inability to recognize faces. In contrast, damage to portions of the ventral temporal cortex is associated with the inability to recognize objects. The double dissociation between face and object recognition suggests that perception is specialized to particular areas of the brain indicative of the modular perspective.
