Fusiform face area: the fusiform face area is part of the temporal lobe and it is one of the examples of functional specialization. The Fusiform face area is responsible for a person’s ability to recognize facesThe frontal lobe: the frontal lobe performs some cognitive functions in the brain. The frontal involves a higher level of executive functions. This part of the brain is responsible for planning and organizing actions to reach sets of goals. The frontal lobe plays an important role in an individual’s behavior and reasoning.Right and left hemispheres: the modularity theory suggests that the right and left hemispheres also involve in some cognitive processes in the brain.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
