Abstract

Since our intention here is to make some remarks about relationships between cognitive neuropsychology and rehabilitation, a description of cognitive neuropsychology makes a convenient starting point. Cognitive neuropsychologists appear to agree that their discipline, the intersection of cognitive psychology and neuropsychology, has two essential features: The use of models of normal cognitive processing to interpret impairments of cognition caused by damage to the brain. The use of data collected in experimental studies of people with such impairments as evidence for adjudicating between, testing, or developing models of normal cognitive processing.
