- Faculty psychology is the idea that the mind is separated into faculties, or sections, and that each of these faculties are assigned to certain mental tasks. Some examples of the mental tasks assigned to these faculties include judgement, compassion, memory, attention, perception, and consciousness. Thomas Reid mentions over 43 faculties of the mind that work together as a whole. Additionally, faculty psychology claims that we are born with separate, innate human functions. The views of faculty psychology are explicit in the psychological writings of the medieval scholastic theologians, such as Thomas Aquinas, as well as in Franz Joseph Gall's formulation of phrenology, albeit more implicitly. More recently faculty psychology has been revived by Jerry Fodor's concept of modularity of mind, the hypothesis that different modules autonomously manage sensory input as well as other mental functions. Faculty psychology resembles localization of function, the claim that specific cognitive functions are performed in specific areas of the brain. For example, Broca's area is associated with language production and syntax, while the Wernicke's Area is associated with language comprehension and semantics. It is currently known that while the brain's functions are separate, they also work together in a localized function. (en)
- La psychologie des facultés représente l'esprit comme un ensemble de modules séparés ou de facultés assignés à des tâches mentales variées. Ce point de vue est explicite dans les ouvrages sur la psychologie des théologiens médiévaux scolastiques, tels que saint Thomas d'Aquin. Il est aussi présent, bien que plus implicitement, dans la formulation de la phrénologie de Franz Joseph Gall, la pratique maintenant mal famée de la mesure de la personnalité et des traits sensoriels en estimant la masse cervicale des organes sur la tête pour trouver des moyens d'améliorer le comportement. Cependant, la psychologie des facultés est réapparue dans le concept de modularité de l'esprit de Jerry Fodor, qui suppose que différents modules gèrent de façon autonome les afférences sensorielles et d'autres fonctions mentales.
