The paper presents a study of brain and behaviour relationships, now known as cognitive neuropsychology, and its progression. A major aim of cognitive neuropsychology, as discussed by theorists Ellis and Young, is: “To draw conclusions about normal, intact cognitive processes from the patterns of impaired and intact capabilities seen in brain injured patients'. To draw these types of conclusions, various methods are used including that of double dissociations. Brain and behaviour relationships are discussed, and although both separate systems, they interact together to tell a single story about how the brain works. Problems with speech, argues the paper, can explain how language works and is processed, and encoded in the brain. The role of cognitive neuropsychology in studying patients with specific disorders or deficits is also examined.
