本文着重于治疗在认知神经心理学研究中的作用，认为认知障碍的治疗应被视为发展，评估和扩展认知理论的一种强有力的方法。我们认为，认知神经心理学的主要目标应被描述为使用数据的调查和治疗的个人与认知障碍的发展，评估和扩展理论的正常认知。为了支持这一论断，本文讨论了治疗研究如何告知理论的例子。主要的方法工具是泛化逻辑，包括跨项目泛化和跨任务泛化。然而，另一种方法是使用病例系列方法来测试特定认知技能和治疗反应之间的预测相关性。这些方法使明确的测试理论或理论之间的歧视，专注于认知表征的性质，认知系统的架构，和认知技能的获取。
This paper focuses on the role of treatment in cognitive neuropsychological research, arguing that treatment for cognitive impairments should be viewed as a powerful methodology for developing, evaluating, and extending cognitive theories. We suggest that the key aim of cognitive neuropsychology should be characterized as the use of data from the investigation and treatment of individuals with cognitive disorders to develop, evaluate, and extend theories of normal cognition. To support this assertion, this paper discusses examples of how treatment studies have informed theory. The major methodological tool is generalization logic, both generalization across items and generalization across tasks. However, an alternative is to use case series methodology to test predicted correlations between particular cognitive skills and response to treatment. These methods enable explicit testing of a theory or discrimination between theories, focusing on the nature of cognitive representations, the architecture of the cognitive system, and the acquisition of cognitive skills.
