Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Garganta's work is focused on understanding how the brain processes certain stimuli, specifically faces. This falls under the realm of cognitive neuroscience, which is the study of how the brain processes and interprets information, and how this affects behavior and cognition. Social neuroscience, while related, tends to focus more on how social factors affect brain processes, whereas Dr. Garganta's work is more focused on basic cognitive processes. Positive psychology and cultural psychology are not directly related to Dr. Garganta's work on face processing.
