Abstract
Abstract The relationships between test performance, cognitive constructs, and underlying neurological status are examined. It is concluded that, while there are many tests that are sensitive to dysfunction in a given cortical area few are specific to such dysfunction. This is particularly true in the case of behavioral functions mediated by the frontal lobes. Modern clinical neuropsychology represents a fusion of experimental and correlational approaches in both research and practice. A serious time lag exists in the execution of seminal research and its application in clinical practice. The use of small collaborative data banks in reducing this time lag is discussed.

This cornucopia will be coveted and dipped into by those neurologists with a special interest in abnormal movement disorders, but who would not consider themselves to have a research interest in tremor.

Differences in neuroanatomical organization of the cerebral hemispheres may account for two fundamental distinctions in processing: the right hemisphere has a greater ability to perform intermodal integration and to process novel stimuli and the left hemisphere is more capable of unimodal and motor processing as well as the storage of compact codes.

The comparison of records of normal subjects and of patients with a delusional form of schizophrenia subjected to special tasks is discussed, discussing the changes that develop in the frontal lobes of the brain during mental exercise.

A recent theoretical position is employed as a framework for a neurodevelopmental model of central processing deficiencies in children and it is shown to embrace a wide variety of behavioural phenomena that have been observed in normal children and in various subtypes of learning-disabled children.

All three patients were severely and globally amnesic when tested with traditional recall and recognition procedures, and the possibility that medial temporal structures contribute to the ability to consciously reconstruct prior experiences was discussed.

It is proposed that clinical features of prefrontal syndromes need not imply the presence of selective structural or biochemical damage to prefrontal cortex, and that a structurally diffuse CNS disease often masquerades as a selective frontal-lobe disease.

The performances of the retarded spellers who produced a preponderance of phonetically accurate misspellings differed markedly from those of the normal spellers only when the task demands involved fairly complex linguistic-cognitive operations.

The future of neuropsychology is considered first in terms of the potential impact of events occurring in clinical medicine, neuroscience research, basic behavioral science and applied psychology, and related disciplines and a series of suggestions are made concerning how this specialty can evolve to best meet the challenges it will face.

There is the potential to misinterpret the neuropsychological test results of patients with diffuse cerebral disorders as indicating focal abnormalities when none exist, and the neurological correlates of selective deficits in spatial processes include not only unilateral right-hemisphere lesions, but also diffuse disorders such as CS.
