 Dropping the (narrow-scope) encapsulation requirement on modules raises a number of issues, not the least of which being that it reduces the power of modularity hypotheses to explain functional dissociations at the system level (Stokes &amp; Bergeron, 2015). That said, if modularity requires only wide-scope encapsulation, then Fodor’s argument against central modularity no longer goes through. But given the importance of narrow-scope encapsulation to Fodorian modularity, all this shows is that central systems might be modular in a non-Fodorian way. The original argument that central systems are not Fodor-modular—and with it, the motivation for the negative strand of the modest modularity hypothesis—stands.
