Bringing cumulative technological culture beyond copying versus reasoning
The dominant view of cumulative technological culture suggests that high-fidelity
transmission rests upon a high-fidelity copying ability, which allows individuals to reproduce …

Shared neural substrates of apraxia and aphasia
G Goldenberg, J Randerath - Neuropsychologia, 2015 - Elsevier
Apraxia is regularly associated with aphasia, but there is controversy whether their co-

Ten problems and solutions when predicting individual outcome from lesion site after stroke
In this paper, we consider solutions to ten of the challenges faced when trying to predict an
individual's functional outcome after stroke on the basis of lesion site. A primary goal is to …
