Abstract
After World War II, the centre of gravity in aphasiology research shifted from Europe to North America [1]. In this period, interest in the German and French localist theories waned to virtual non-existence in clinical practice. The localist view was replaced by ideas with a more holistic character. A factor that likely contributed to this transition was the many war casualties, whose complex disturbances and potential for recovery were not very well explained by the contemporary language theories. These observations triggered basic research on aphasia, as well as efforts to rehabilitate patients [2]. Somehow, then, interest renewed to a point where localism again became the dominant clinical view that it remains today.

Remember that Luria defined functions more practically as a form of goal-directed behaviour. Such a definition emphasizes the fact that task performance underlies behaviour and functionality.
