Modularity may be defined as the concept that certain areas of the brain are dedicated to performing specific cognitive tasks. Moreover, Modularity is defined as the degree to which language processing is independent of general cognitive processes such as memory and reasoning; the degree to which an aspect of language is independent of other aspects of language.
