Abstract

In this review, from past to present, the progress made in the approaches of cognitive neuropsychology, a rather young interdisciplinary field of science, is summarized and methodological problems are discussed. In the paper, the place of cognitive neuropsycholgy is considered in relation to the other disciplines that also seek to understand the relationship between mind and brain. After presenting views of influential neurologists in the early history of neuropsychology, the criticisms raised against the early diagram-makers, who tried to explain cognitive dysfunctions of patients with brain damage by drawing a set of explanatory diagrams of mental systems, are outlined. Next, the basic assumptions underlying neuropsychological research are presented. Then, the important theoretical and methodological developments made in cognitive neuropsychology are highlighted. Finally, neuropsychological methods including dissociations, double dissociations, single-case studies, group studies, the current modular diagram-making approach and some criticisms leveled at this approach are discussed.

Özet

Bu yazıda, disiplinler arası bir bilim dalı sayılan bilişsel nöropsikolojinin kullandığı yaklaşımlarda, geçmişten bugüne alman yol ve yöntemle ilgili tartışmalar ele alınmaktadır. Bilişsel nöropsikoloji, zihin ve beyin ilişkisini inceleyen diğer bilim dallarıyla karşılaştırılarak tanıtıldıktan sonra, bilişsel nöropsikoloji çalışmalarının temel taşları olan varsayımlar özetlenmektedir. Nöropsikolojinin başlangıcında önemli rol oynayan şemacı davranış nörologlarının görüşlerine yer verildikten sonra, beyin hasarından dolayı oluşan bilişsel bozukluktan şemalar çizerek açıklama yaklaşımına karşı yükselen eleştirilere değinilmektedir. Daha sonra, bilişsel nöropsikolojide kat edilen gelişmeler vurgulanarak işlevlerin çözülmesi, çift-çözülme, olgu çalışmaları, grup çalışmaları gibi yöntemler ve son olarak yakın geçmişte modüler-şemacı yaklaşıma karşı yöneltilen eleştiriler ile bu eleştirilere karşı duran bakış açısı tartışılmaktadır.
