Luria's neuropsychological study

Luria’s neuropsychological study examined how different areas of the brain contribute to mental functions. He believed that specific brain regions work together to support complex tasks, such as speaking, memory, and reasoning. By studying patients with brain injuries, he identified how damage to certain areas affected particular skills. His approach emphasized understanding the brain’s organized, functional system rather than viewing it as a collection of isolated parts. This research helped establish the idea that cognitive functions are localized yet integrated, advancing our understanding of how the brain supports behavior and thought processes.
