Beyond modular and non-modular states: theoretical considerations, exemplifications, and practical implications by Francesco Benso, Carlo Chiorri, Eleonora Ardu, Paola Venuti, Angela Pasqualotto, Angela Pasqualotto

“…We address the blurred boundary between domain-specific and domain-general systems, proposing modular versus non-modular states—indexed by automaticity and mandatoriness—as key discriminators. This systematization, supported by empirical literature and our own research, provides a more stable framework for understanding modular systems, avoiding interpretive confusion across varying levels of complexity. …”
