Exploring Jerry Fodor’s modularity of mind as a tool for comprehending mental architecture


Parinita Batra

The modurality of mind hypothesis is regarding the innate mechanisms that constitute the cognitive architecture of the mind. It is a hypothesis as to how the modules function in the mind as innate sub-systems with specific domains of their own. Jerry Fodor in the 1960s developed theories that have been influential across disciplinary boundaries.

There is a need to explore the varied dimensions, involved in different modules of the mind.
