For those seeking an introduction to the Chomskian inspiration behind modern
nativism see: Cook, 1988 and Radford, 1997. Chomsky, 1988 is also quite acces-
sible. See also Carruthers, 1992.
The seminal text on modularity is: Fodor, 1983. (His 1985a and 1989 are also well
worth reading.) See also Shallice, 1988a; Sachs, 1989; Smith and Tsimpli, 1995;
Segal, 1996; Sperber, 1996.
For arguments supporting both nativism and modularity from an evolutionary
perspective, see many of the papers presented in: Barkowet al., 1992.
A synthesis of developmental evidence in various domains is presented in:
KarmiloV-Smith, 1992.
