Abstract:
This chapter (1) argues that analysis of neuropsychological deficits in terms of processing models allows us to identify specific target functions for therapy; (2) deals with the implications of this model-based deficit analysis for the design of therapy; and (3) discusses the need for, and some guidelines for, properly designed experiments or ‘trials’ to evaluate the effects of therapy.
