Abstract： The left visual word form area (VWFA) of the brain in adults is more sensitive to orthographic information, whereas the right fusiform face area (FFA) is preferentially involved in the processing of facial information. However, the developmental mechanism of the complementary pattern of hemispheric lateralization still needs to be clarified. The neuronal recycling hypothesis postulates that learning to read words and face representation compete for neural processing resources in the left fusiform gyrus (FG), which leads to left hemispheric lateralization of the VWFA in word recognition, and drives the right hemispheric lateralization of FFA in face recognition. The distributed account of hemispheric organization of word and face recognition proposes three key neural computational principles to systematically elucidate a multilevel and bidirectional dynamic processing mechanism of the competitive development of word and face lateralization. Based on recent discoveries of cytoarchitectonic areas and functional organizational features of the FG, a multidimensional computational model of word and face recognition is constructed. Therefore, the cognitive neural processing mechanism of the competitive development of the complementary pattern of hemispheric lateralization in word and face recognition is systematically examined using the neuronal recycling hypothesis and distributed account of the hemispheric organization, combined with the structural and functional characteristics of FG and recent evidence. Further studies are necessary to explore the cortical spatial sites and the functional neurohistological basis of competitive processing between words and faces, the competitive mechanism of Chinese character processing on face processing, the developmental mechanism of the right hemispheric specialization for face recognition, and the mechanisms of brain plasticity changed by learning to read numbers and musical notations.

Abstract： Intersubjective theory is one of the most important approaches in the field of contemporary psychoanalysis. Compared with the more traditional psychoanalysis, its theoretical characteristics can be concluded as follows: from a distinction of inside/outside space to an emphasis on in between space, from a subject-object relationship to a subject-subject relationship, from insight to action, from foundationalism and positivism to hermeneutics and constructivism. Despite the confusion of terminology and divergence of viewpoints, the intersubjective turn has spread to almost every psychoanalytic schools and widely influenced many analysts in North America, Europe and Latin America. Future intersubjective theory needs to keep open and make a constant dialogue with previous theories, clinical materials, and other disciplinary areas." "
