C) They perform their functions rapidly.
D) They have a specific neural architecture.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modules, in the context of neuroscience and cognitive science, are specialized brain regions or networks dedicated to specific functions. They are indeed characterized by having a limited function (B), performing their functions rapidly (C), and having a specific neural architecture (D). However, saying they are accessible to central processes (A) is misleading or false because modules are often conceptualized as somewhat autonomous, with their specific functions not necessarily being directly accessible or modifiable by "central" cognitive processes in a straightforward manner. This autonomy is part of what makes the concept of modularity useful in understanding the organization of cognitive functions and the brain.
