Is compartmentalisation supposed to be a competence or an incompetence, or neither?
Personally, I don't think "compartmentalization" actually cuts reality at the joints. Surely the brain must solve a classification problem at some point, but it could easily "fall out" that your algorithms simply perform better if they classify things or situations between contextualized models - that is, if they "compartmentalize" - than if they try to build one humongous super-model for all possible things and situations.
But you don;t have proof of that theory, do you?
Your original thesis would support that theory, actually.
I havent made any object level claims about psychology.
