辅音和元音感知的基础过程是语音学的，与定位来源和为每个来源的声音分配听觉质量的过程不同。这种专门化，或模块，增加了信息流的速度，建立了发送者和接收者之间的平等，每一个通信系统都必须有，并为物种和个人的语音结构的自然发展提供了条件。语音模块具有某些与“封闭”模块相同的属性（例如，蝙蝠的声音定位或回声测距），并且像这类模块的其他成员一样，语音模块被放置在听觉系统的结构中，以便抢占与其特殊功能相关的信息。因此，这种信息对于诸如音高、响度和音色的“开放”模块不可用。
The processes that underlie perception of consonants and vowels are specifically phonetic, distinct from those that localize sources and assign auditory qualities to the sound from each source. This specialization, or module, increases the rate of information flow, establishes the parity between sender and receiver that every communication system must have, and provides for the natural development of phonetic structures in the species and in the individual. The phonetic module has certain properties in common with modules that are "closed" (for example, sound localization or echo ranging in bats) and, like other members of this class, is so placed in the architecture of the auditory system as to preempt information that is relevant to its special function. Accordingly, this information is not available to such "open" modules as those for pitch, loudness, and timbre.
