Neuropsychology - ANShow brain structure and function relate to psychological processes and behavior
Clinical neuropsychology - ANSFocus is mainly on cognitive rather than emotional disorders
-they work in hospitals and private practices
psychiatry - ANS-is a medical specialty in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and emotional

Carl Wernicke - ANSLocalised the ability to understand speech to the temporal lobes (known as
Wernicke's area )
Localization - ANS-school of thought where mental functions are located in particular places in the brain
Cognitive psychology - ANS-has provided a way to divide our cognitive capacities into smaller processing
units
-supports the use of computer-based approaches
clinico-anatomical correlation - ANS-formed the basis of neuropsychological research
Post World War I and II - ANSMandem could study the brain activities (damage to the brain ) while the
shmucks were still living innnit with the X-rays dunno !
