modularity of the mind
Definition
- The concept of mental modularity plays a prominent role in both philosophy and psychology. As originally articulated by Jerry Fodor in the early 1980s, it characterizes a type of information-processing mechanism that is likely to figure in relatively low-level parts of the functional architecture of the mind.
