== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Modular Theory of Mind''' — The "Hypothesis" that the mind is "Composed" of "Independent Units" (Modules) that have "Specific Functions."
* '''Jerry Fodor''' — The "Philosopher" who "Defined" the "Rules" of "Modularity" in 'The Modularity of Mind' (1983).
* '''Information Encapsulation''' — The "Core Feature" of a module: it "Only Sees" its "Own Data" and "Cannot be Influenced" by "Other Parts" of the mind (e.g. 'Optical Illusions').
* '''Domain Specificity''' — A module "Only Responds" to "One Type" of input (e.g., 'Faces,' 'Syntax,' 'Colors').
* '''Massive Modularity''' — (Evolutionary Psychology). The "Extended Idea" that "The Whole Mind" (including 'Reasoning') is modular.
* '''The Swiss Army Knife Metaphor''' — (Pinker/Tooby/Cosmides). The "View" that the "Mind" is a "Toolbox" of "Evolved Solutions" for "Specific Ancestral Problems."
* '''Face Recognition Module''' (Fusiform Face Area) — A "Specific Part" of the brain "Dedicated" to "Processing Faces."
* '''Language Acquisition Device''' (LAD) — (Chomsky). The "Innate Module" for "Learning Grammar."
* '''Inaccessibility''' — The "Idea" that we "Don't Know" "How" a module works; we "Only See" the "Result" (e.g. 'You see a chair, but you don't 'see' the math that built it').
* '''Plasticity''' — (See Article 150). The "Counter-Argument": the "Brain's Ability" to "Change and Adapt," "Suggesting" that "Modules" are "Flexible."
