As

infants,

we

can

recognize

our

mothers

within

hours

of

birth.

In

fact,

we

can

recognize

the 41 of our mother

’

s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It

’

s 42

how

the

brain

can

carry

out

such

a

function

at

such

a

young

age,

especially

since

we

don

’

t

learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have

the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when

many of us find it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact

process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define

the specific areas of the brain and processes

44 for facial recognition.

Researchers

at

the

Massachusetts

Institute

of

Technology

believe

that

they

have

succeeded

in 45 a

specific

area

of

the

brain

called

the

fusiform

face

area

(FFA),

which

is used

only for facial

recognition.

This means

that

recognition of familiar

objects such

as our clothes or cars, is from 46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the

brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been 47

thought

that

we

only

needed

to

see

certain

facial

features.

Meanwhile,

research

at

University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but

48 involves

three

steps.

The

first

step

appears

to

be

an

analysis

of

the

physical

features

of a person

’

s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In

the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or

unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about

the person whose face we are looking at. This complex 49 is done in a split second

so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.
