The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Massive Redeployment Hypothesis and the Functional Topography of the Brain (2007, background): “In this I am following Fodor (2000) in the pragmatic definition of a (cognitive) function as whatever appears in one of the boxes in a psychologist’s diagram of cognitive processing.1 The project of functional topography, simply put, is to map these boxes onto brain areas.”
Mindreading and the Cognitive Architecture Underlying Altruistic Motivation (2001, background): “…encapsulated if it has little or no access to information outside of its own proprietary database, and one of the central features of an encapsulated system is that such systems resist our preferences (Fodor 2000, p. 63): You can’t make the Muller-Lyer illusion disappear by wanting it to go away.”
Monothematic Delusions: Towards a Two-Factor Account (2001, unknown): “See Fodor (2000).”
