Modular Representations of Cognitive Phenomena in AI, Psychology and Neuroscience

Abstract: Many architectures of mind assume some form of modularity, but what is meant by the term ‘module’? This chapter creates a framework for understanding current modularity research in three subdisciplines of cognitive science: psychology, artificial intelligence (AI), and neuroscience. This framework starts from the distinction between horizontal modules that support all expressed behaviors vs. vertical modules that support individual domain-specific capacities. The framework is used to discuss innateness, automa… Show more

“…laid the initial theoretical groundwork, suggesting the compartmentalization of cognitive processes into discrete, functional modules within the brain. expanded upon this, advocating for the parallel in artificial intelligence constructs, presenting a compelling case for modular representations within AI systems [8,9]. Against this conceptual backdrop, the current study advances the dialogue by proposing an emotionally agnostic framework for sentiment analysis.…”

“…The conceptual bedrock of the present study builds upon extant literature that delineates the human mind as a modular entity a concept espoused by theorists like Fodor (1983) and empirical researchers alike (Bryson, 2005). Specifically, Bryson's seminal paper serves as a lynchpin, situating this study at the crossroads of neuroscience, psychology, and AI.…”
