Individual Differences

  • Chapter
Neuropsychological Function and Brain Imaging

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Human brains differ in a variety of ways. Language skills, for example, are typically represented in the left hemisphere but in some individuals may be represented in the right hemisphere or bilaterally (Hecaen & Sauget, 1971). Naming ability is typically a function represented in the posterior portion of the left perisylvian region but in some individuals may be more widespread within the left hemisphere (Ojemann, 1983). To what extent are these two types of differences (between and within hemispheres) linked to particular patterns of cognitive performances? Most broadly, neuropsychological approaches to individual differences aim to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different neural designs and thereby to elucidate basic principles of brain-behavior relationships. This approach complements traditional functional neuroanatomy: rather than asking “What function does a given structure perform?” one can ask “What structural or dynamic characteristics confer optimal (or suboptimal) function?”
