Instinto, Especialização, Modularidade, Expressão facial, EmoçõesResumo
Desde Fodor (1983) a modularidade comportamental tem gerado fortes controvérsias, especialmente em torno do quanto são especializados os módulos eventuais e do quanto são encapsulados, isto é, independentes de controles externos. No presente ensaio, depois de rever formulações precursoras a respeito de instinto e de aprendizagens especializadas e de expor as características básicas da modularidade, tomo, como estudo de caso, pesquisas sobre a percepção da expressão facial da emoção, mostrando tanto o lado especializado desse processo como a sua abertura para controles externos. Termino defendendo a necessidade de, junto à estratégia de delimitar processos comportamentais especializados, colocar a questão de como eles se integram e se controlam uns aos outros e são eventualmente gerenciados por processos gerais.Downloads
