Extract

The literature of the psychological effects of brain injury is extensive and disconnected. It abounds in inadequate definitions, incompatible theories and disagreements as to appropriate methods of investigation. This situation results partly from the variety of disciplines which guide different investigators; but it results too from the great logical difficulties encountered by anybody who seeks to throw light on normal intelligent behaviour by studying the effects of cerebral lesions. Some have even argued that such attempts are always unprofitable (47, 77).
