, A.Participants who have thicker cortexes show improved performance in
both studies.
B.Participants who have impairments in recognizing faces perform poorly in
Study 2, but not in Study 1.
C.Participants with damage to the language centers of the brain have
difficulty understanding the rules for the war game in Study 1, but they
