<p>A <b>cognitive module</b> in <a href="Cognitive_psychology" title="Cognitive psychology">cognitive psychology</a> is a specialized tool or sub-unit that can be used by other parts to resolve <a href="Cognitive" class="mw-redirect" title="Cognitive">cognitive</a> tasks.

It became better known throughout cognitive psychology by means of his book, <i>The Modularity of Mind</i> (1983). The nine aspects he lists that make up a mental module are domain specificity, mandatory operation, limited central accessibility, fast processing, informational encapsulation, "shallow" outputs, fixed neural architecture, characteristic and specific breakdown patterns, and characteristic ontogenetic pace and sequencing. Not all of these are necessary for the unit to be considered a module, but they serve as general parameters.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The question of their existence and nature is a major topic in <a href="Cognitive_science" title="Cognitive science">cognitive science</a> and <a href="Evolutionary_psychology" title="Evolutionary psychology">evolutionary psychology</a>.

<p>In the research field of <a href="Evolutionary_psychology" title="Evolutionary psychology">evolutionary psychology</a> it is believed that some cognitive modules are inherited and some are created by learning, but the creation of new modules by learning is often guided by inherited modules.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>For example, the ability to drive a car or throw a basketball are certainly learned and not inherited modules, but they may make use of inherited modules to rapidly compute trajectories.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Memory_and_creative_thought">Memory and creative thought</h2></div>
<p>A very important aspect of how humans think is the ability, when encountering a situation or problem, to find more or less similar, but not identical, experiences or cognitive modules.

But also other strings, from nearby strings, will vibrate to a lesser extent.
</p><p>Exactly how the human mind does this is not known, but it is believed that when you encounter a situation or problem, many different cognitive modules are activated at the same time, and the mind selects those most useful for understanding a new situation or solving a new problem.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
