The recognition of faces is a widely researched process. Typically, this process is thought of as separate from other object recognition: a specific mechanism. Today’s neural models of face processing also presume the previous assumption. A competing hypothesis for this specificity hypothesis is the expertise hypothesis, which claims that the recognition of faces is unique due to the vast amount of experience we have with faces. The conversation regarding the expertise hypothesis has surrounded largely the function of the FFA. In this review, evidence for the FFA’s role as a general, not face specific, object recognition module is presented. As an explanation for the current evidence for the role of the FFA a holisticity hypothesis is proposed: FFA is a module of holistic visual processing. Finally, critical notations for following research are discussed.
