Modularity of mind

The modularity of mind is a theory suggesting that our brain is made up of specialized, function-specific systems called modules, each responsible for different mental tasks like language, vision, or memory. These modules operate somewhat independently but work together to create our overall mental experience. This idea helps explain how we can excel at some skills while remaining less skilled in others, emphasizing that the brain is organized into distinct parts designed for specific purposes, making our mental processes efficient and specialized.
