The Contribution of Patient Case Studies on our Understanding of Cognit

Although it shares cognitive neurosciences roots, cognitive neuropsychology has developed into a distinct discipline. While cognitive neuroscience studies spooky organisation of the virtuoso, cognitive neuropsychology concerns itself with the stars functional architecture Coltheart (2010) describes this as a distinction between brain and mind. According to, among others, Coltheart (2002, cited Coltheart, 2010) this makes cognitive neuropsychology a branch of cognitive psychology rather than neuroscience. Patient case studies have played a critical federal agency in developing cognitive neuropsychology into a separate discipline, although data from case studies can support and even progress cognitive neuroscientific findings about neural architecture. Cognitive neuroscientific research has identified dorsal and ventral visual pathways (e.g. Shapley, 1995, cited Pike and Edgar, 2010) in the brain, known respectively as the where and the what pathways. A case study of enduring DF by Milner and Goodale (1995, cited Pike and Edgar, 2010) found impairment in face and disapprove recognition and visual discrimination, suggesting damage to the ventral pathway. When asked to pick up a downhearted disc, the width of which she could not judge, the distance between DFs index finger and thumb correlated highly with the actual disc width, suggesting that she was able to guide body process using size information unavailable to conscious report. Milner and Goodale went on to develop the ventral/dorsal dissociation theory by suggesting that the ventral what pathway processes endeavor recognition while the dorsal where system drives attain in relation to an object (Goodale and Milner, 1992 Milner and Goodale, 1995, both cited Pike and Edgar, 2010).
