Are faces special? Critically evaluate the evidence that we have evolved a specialised neural network dedicated to processing faces. Brian Marron‚ 11461992‚ SF TSM.

Face validity‚ from my understanding‚ is testing validity based on how the results are going to measure without actually conducting the test. In other words‚ face validity is based on what is supposed to be than what is actual. According to the website Explorable.com‚ face validity is a basic measure and the subject‚ who usually is not an expert‚ has input about the test (Shuttleworth‚ 2009‚ para. 5). Content validity‚ on the other hand‚ is similar to face validity but differs in the way the results

caution amongst people. Everyone would be looking at each other’s faces to determine what kind of person they are and what that person might want to do. But these perceptions are all guesses‚ if everyone were to rely on these perceptions then no one would truly know the other unless they were to actually talk with each other. This research can help in government affairs. It can help politicians with speeches‚ giving a more confident face or just how they present themselves in general. It can also help
