Neuropsychology

Paradigms run first and read about second, plus the logic that turns a pattern of deficits into a claim.

A double dissociation: the pattern crosses over Two people are each tested on two tasks. The first is near ceiling on naming and near floor on route finding; the second shows exactly the reverse. Naming Route Patient A Patient B
Two people, two tasks, and the pattern crossing over. One case could not show this.

The activities

In teaching order

  1. Double Dissociation Detective

    Dissociation logic, control-referenced inference and what measurement precision entitles you to claim

    7 min

  2. How Sure Can One Case Make You?

    Why a single lesion case supports much less localisation inference than it feels like

    6 min

  3. Network Disconnection Mapper

    How a deficit can come from a cut connection rather than from damage to any region

    5 min

  4. Neglect or Blindness?

    Telling neglect from field loss, and why the obvious task is the wrong one

    6 min

  5. Where the Cut Is

    How the shape of a field defect locates the damage that caused it

    5 min

  6. What Each Profile Can Decide

    Which claims a case can settle, and which it cannot settle however severe it is

    6 min

  7. Which Measure Separates Them?

    Why the useful measure is the one the two candidates differ on, not the one either scores lowest on

    6 min

  8. What One Score Hides

    Why a single executive score cannot say what is wrong, and what the pattern across tasks adds

    6 min

  9. Building a Split-Brain Trial

    The four conditions the classic split-brain result needs, and what happens when one is removed

    6 min

  10. Where Recognition Breaks

    Why recognising a face, knowing who someone is, and producing their name can fail separately

    5 min

  11. What Your Battery Cannot Say

    Why the useful half of an assessment report is the list of what was not assessed

    6 min

  12. What Is the Score Actually Made Of?

    What a rising recovery score is actually made of, and how much of it generalises

    6 min
