Flynn, J. R.

"The Flynn effect, or massive IQ gains over time, causes more problems for IQ-based theories of intelligence.  No doubt there have been tremendous environmental changes over the past 150 years.  But it is not clear what tremendous change occurred between 1972 and 1982 in Holland to boost IQ scores on Raven's Matrices Test (a good measure of the general intelligence factor called g) the equivalent of eight IQ points." (Commentary, November 1998, "Does IQ Matter?" Christopher F Chabris & Critics p. 15)

Fodor, J. A.  (1983).  The modularity of mind: An essay on faculty psychology.  Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT / Bradford Press.

In this and the immediate next writing, Fodor claims that Gardner rejects a central processor form of intelligence that cuts across his eight (8) separate modules.  In its stead, Fodor defends the now standard consensus of brain localization, the modularity of mind -- a theory holding that the different forms of human intelligence occupy separate areas of the brain.

The above book is the reference for modularity in the brain, in that the issue of modularization is rich in its possible implementation, truly interdisciplinary and exquisitely written.  Fodor articulates a view which gives a richer structure to the mind. Although there are many problems with the notions of "modules", it is so clearly on the right track that many theorists, not including connectionists, have adopted the modularity view in some form or another.

" ... One can measure influence in two ways: Substantive and Sociological.  Fodor's ideas about modularity have certainly had a sociological influence.  They are widely discussed and cited.  But I don't think they have actually contributed anything of substance.  We still have no idea whether any or many cognitive capacities are modular, or whether they are all interdependent to various degrees.  We also have no idea whether there is really a "general" cognitive capacity over and above particular ("modular") ones, let alone any reason to believe that it could not be studied and understood if it did exist.  The concept of "modularity" has become a buzzword and a bandwagon, for everything from cortical functional / anatomic modules of the Mountcastle / Hubel type (nothing to do with Fodorian modules), to current naive functional neo-localizationism PET-abetted), to various developmentally inspired "manifestos."  Meanwhile, the "mother of all modules," Chomsky's autonomy of syntax thesis, has quietly been relaxed across the years of normal theory development at MIT, leaving Fodorian modularity a bit like the Carolingian Cheshire Cat's Smile, suspended in cognitive (sociological) space. ..."
