Document Summary
Caramazza (1984) suggests that the damage a brain can suffer from an injury does not usually affect a single processing component, nor does it completely alter it, while it does preserve other components altogether. Even for those chaos in which a single component is altered, caramazza proposes four variables that come into play in the execution of a subject with brain damage: These four assumptions turn out to be the essential foundations in which the theoretical mode of explaining the architecture of the cognitive system will besupported. Thanks to the application of these assumptions to neuropsychology, an explanatory relationship can be established between. Neuropsychology the alterations of the patient with brain injury and the understanding of theprosses in normal subjects. From these neuropsychological studies of the brain, combined with data from neuroradiologists and other disciplines, a good organization of the cognitive functions performed by the different zonas of the brain will beavailable.
