    "title": "Modularity and the Possibility of a Cognitive Neuroscience of Central Systems",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The methodology of cognitive neuroscience presup-\nposes that cognitive functions are modular. Fodor\n(1983) offered an interesting charactoization of various\nforms of modularity and an argument to the effect that\nwhile language and input systems are probably modu-\nlar, higher cognitive processes such as problem solv-\ning probably are not. If this is the case, there will be\nmethodological obstacles in developing a neuroscience\nof higher cognitive functions. We offer an analysis of\nthe issue of modularity as it affects the cognitive sci-\nences, evaluate Fodor's characterization with respect to\nthis analysis, and suggest that his argument for the\nnonmodularity of central systems has a very narrow\nscope. It is not something that neuroscience needs to\nnecessarily worry about.",
