ABSTRACT
Neuropsychology has traditionally been defined as the study of brain– behavior relationships in patient populations. It has flourished as a profession because of an accumulated body of knowledge of brain functions in relation to cognition (Fiorello, Hale, Snyder, Forrest, & Teodori, 2008) and real world outcomes (Hale & Fiorello, 2004). From its beginning in the prediction of behavioral deficits based on localization of brain injury to modern methods of brain scanning and imaging to predict outcomes and inform intervention, neuropsychology has been enriched by a long history of empirical investigation, making it the quintessential science in psychological practice.
