Modularity

1. 1What is Modularity?

   1. ADifferent parts of your Brian have different functions, and each part is relativity self contained.
   2. BYou brain is one unit: it all works at the same things all the time
   3. CYour brain is split in half, one side of it works on creative things and the other works on logical things
   4. DYou brain can only work on one thing at a time per region.
2. 2What evidence do we have to support modularity?

   1. AThe Muller-Lyer illusion: two lines look the same and we know that they are the same. Logic and visual perception combine to give us factual information all the time.
   2. BThe Muller- Lyer illusion: The two lines look different because our brain want to trick us. We shouldn't know that the lines are different.
   3. CThe Muller-Lyer illusion: we logically know that by looking at the two lines they are the same length, however (regardless to this) we still see different lengths. This suggests that there is a disconnect between what our visual system is telling us and what we believe to be true. The visual perception module is doing it's own thing and we can't change its behaviour.
   4. DThe Muller-Lyer illusion: The lines appear to be bending slightly. This suggests the impact of light in our visual perception region, and how we cannot distinguish reality from the light bending our perception.
3. 3What is the native approach to Modularity?

   1. AEverything is environmental.
   2. BEverything is genetic.
   3. CEverything is a mix of the two.
4. 4What is the empiricist approach to modularity?

   1. AEverything is environmental.
   2. BEverything is genetic.
   3. CEverything is a mix of the two.
5. 5What is the neuroconstructivist approach to Modularity?

   1. AEverything is a result of genetic factors
   2. BEverything is a result of environmental factors.
   3. CDevelopment results constant two way interaction between genetics and the environment.
6. 6What is some evidence for neuroconstructivism (which is to critique the idea of innate modularity)?

   1. APlasticity: the idea that the brain can reorganise itself as a result of external experiences.
   2. BFinish this later
