Answer #1

Fusiform Face Area deals with evolutionary face-perception and therefore I agree with the first side.
A study regarding novel objects called greebles determined this phenomenon. When first exposed to greebles, a person's FFA was activated more strongly by faces than by greebles. After familiarising themselves with individual greebles or becoming a greeble expert, a person's FFA was activated equally by faces and greebles. Likewise, children with autism have been shown to develop object recognition at a similarly impaired pace as face recognition. Studies of late patients with autism have discovered that autistic people have lower neuron densities in the FFA.

CASE STUDY ON LEADERSHIP/ Aidensfield hospital currently faces major problems with staff, management, general performance and service quality. It is conceivable that these problems are related to the ‘leadership’ styles adapted by those in charge. The senior management have proposed some changes within the organisation to hopefully make improvements but making such decisions requires an in-depth understanding of what is going wrong and why. Leadership as a concept is often considered in isolation when in reality, it is coherent with...
