However, a variety of factors impeded the close as- sociation of neuropsychologists and cognitive\/experimental psychologists. These factors were prominent influences in both camps, which kept the study of cognition away from a consideration of biological foundations and kept neuropsychology theoretically impoverished. In recent years, these factors have diminished and \"cognitive neuropsychology\" has become a popular term to describe the new movements to join the study of cognition with the study of brain function. The factors which kept these areas separate were manifestations of his- torical trends and represent a social distance which largely happened by acci- dent. The first and perhaps most important factor was that early investigators of cognition and brain function were not psychologists. Most were neurolo- gists or otlier neuroscientists who were excellent observers of behavior fol- lowing brain injury but had virtually no theoretical context of cognitive psy- chology, which would allow them to expand and deepen their understanding of the behavior they were observing. As more psychologists who have such a context have observed the consequences of brain disorders, especially aphasia and amnesia, the study of them has become far more comprehensive as theo- ries of language and memory derived from cognitive psychology have been incorporated into the investigations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284070654103,"sku":"9781468455793","price":3633.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781468455793.webp?v=1769280092","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cognitive-approaches-to-neuropsychology-9781468455793","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
