- 1Who wrote ''The Modularity of Mind''Fodor
- 2What is meant by 'domain specific' & 'informationally encapsulated'?Domain-specific: only process information of a particular type/class (visual/faces/etc)
informationally encapsulated: only take in key types of info. don't take information from high-level systems. modules are fast as they only have access to the info that's required to perform that function. - 3What ode Coltheart argue is the key characteristic of a module?Domain specificity
- 4Give examples of physiologically defined modules.Area MT - process movement. neurons in that area only respond to movement in a particular direction.
inferotemporal cortex- cells respond to stimuli of different shapes/forms - 5Why is modularity important for cognitive science
