Finite case series or infinite single-case studies? Comments on "Case series investigations in cognitive neuropsychology" by Schwartz and Dell (2010).
In this commentary, though acknowledging that a case-series approach in neuropsychology is not always possible, we set out a series of considerations that in our view make this approach generally superior to single-case study. We argue that case-series designs are crucial for theory-testing, assessment of computational models, evaluation of inter-patient variation (including selection criteria,...

متن کاملTwo Dogmas of Neo-Empiricism
This article critically examines the contemporary resurgence of empiricism (or “neo-empiricism”) in philosophy, psychology, neuropsychology, and artificial intelligence. This resurgence is an important and positive development. It is the first time that this centuries-old empiricist approach to cognition is precisely formulated in the context of cognitive science and neuroscience. Moreover, neo...
متن کاملWhy Methods Matter in the Study of the Biological Basis of the Mind: A Behavioral Neurologist’s Perspective
Six years ago I edited a book entitled Neurological Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience (D’Esposito, 2002), in which each chapter was written by a behavioral neurologist who also “practiced” cognitive neuroscience, and highlighted the interface between the study of patients with cognitive deficits and the study of cognition in normal individuals. Each chapter began with a description of a cas...
متن کاملThe Importance of Studying Greek Philosophers and Physicians (5 – 3 Century B.c.): Contribution to the Development of Neuroscience in Medical Schools
The nature of psychic life, the anatomical seat of cognitive, motor and sensory functions, and the origin of neurological diseases were broadly debated by ancient Greek scientists since the earliest times. Within a few centuries, speculation of philosophers and physicians laid to foundations of modern experimental and clinical neuroscience. In this review we shall present the most important Gre...
