Document Summary

Unit 1: introductory ideas and introduction to the field of neurolinguistics. Functional modularity: cognitive system consists of numerous, independent processing units. Anatomical modularity: each module is located in a specific brain region. Could be that neural tissue for each individual functional module is very widely spread throughout the brain. If so, almost any form of brain damage would affect all modules. Uniformity of functional architecture across people: allows us to generalize findings to normal human cognition. Subtractivity: brain damage can impair or delete a system, but cannot add to it. Brain damage can only disrupt modules or connections between them (patients cannot develop new modules to compensate) Mind: relates to behavior, consciousness, regulated from the brain. Mind runs on a system (iphone ios 10) on a hardware (apple which would represent the brain).
