message: There is an existing Wikipedia page [Modularity of mind] which partially covers the same topic as this article. That article, however, only talks about inherited modules, not about learned modules, and makes no discussion about the relation between inherited and learned modules. The article is written with a more scientific language, more difficult to understand for non-experts.
One could merge the two articles, or just add links back and forward between them. I would prefer
links back and forward. Someone has already added a link from [Cognitive modules] to [Modularity of mind], I have now also added a reverse link.

message: Here are some possible sources for the rewritten article, taken from earlier versions. Please don't just bolt this list on to the end of the article: instead, please use them as information sources, and cite them where needed to support assertions derived from them. 
Please only use a source if you have actually read it first and it is used to directly support an assertion in the article. Online sources for copies of peer-reviewed works are, of course, preferred, because they are easily accessible to online readers. Needless to say, websites, blogs and other self-published sources are not usable as authorities, as per the reliable sources policy. As a matter of preference, material for the new article should be rewritten from scratch on Wikipedia, rather than imported from self-published sources. -- The Anome 15:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello! I am new to Wikipedia editing, but think there is a lot of good information here that could be developed. I noticed just as some of you have that some of the sources could use some updating, especially because of the dead links. I also think we could do some good work on expounding the nine points made in the lead. What are your guys's thoughts?

thread_title:  Questions/Ideas 

message: The entry, as it is presently, expose only (and rather acritically) the "evo psy" perspective on modularity. For context, the mainstream understanding of modularity stems from Fodor's work and emphasize causal-mechanical properties of cognitive mechanisms such as encapsulation and automaticty (see Robbins, Philip. 2017. ‘Modularity of Mind’. In The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, ed. Edward N. Zalta. Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University. https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/win2017/entries/modularity-mind/ (December 18, 2020).). They are therefore widely agreed to constitute a "natural kind", ie a legitimate object of scientific enquiry.
On the other end, evo psy modularism relies on supposed individuation of cognitive mecanisms by their ecological function (the behaviour they cause). It would be an understatement to state that there is no grounding whatsoever for this hypothesis in cognitive neuroscienceBechtel, William. 2009. ‘Looking down, around, and up: Mechanistic Explanation in Psychology’. Philosophical Psychology 22(5): 543–64. or behavioural science (related;Stewart, John, Olivier Gapenne, and Ezequiel A. Di Paolo. 2010. Enaction: Toward a New Paradigm for Cognitive Science. MIT Press. Henrich, Joseph, and Richard McElreath. 2013. ‘The Evolution of Cultural Evolution’.). It is unclear whether evo psy theorist actually believe in "evolutionary modules" or simply evoke it as an inferential strategy, but even in the second case there are heavy doubts regarding the scientificity of the demarch.Smith, Subrena E. 2020. ‘Is Evolutionary Psychology Possible?’ Biological Theory 15(1): 39–49.
I believe it is necessary to discuss the mainstream (fodorian) understanding of modularity or to rename the article as "Cognitive module (evolutionary psychology)", and in any case to reference the polemic associated to the evo psy conception of modularity.
