The discussion about face recognition points out that we perceive a face in terms of a gestalt. You can therefore conclude that
 
  a. we perceive faces in terms of their overall structure.
  b. each element of someone's face (eyes, nose, etc.) is unique to that particular face.
  c. we use top-down processing when we perceive a face, moving from the eyes, to the nose, etc.
  d. we process faces the same as we process other visual stimuli.

Question 2

Many researchers argue that face perception is special; we process faces in a different way than we process other visual stimuli. According to this perspective,
 
  a. we process the color of human faces before we process their shape.
  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.
