Abstract
Recent historical research has shown that the large complex of research conducted by Aleksandr Luria on aphasia in brain-damaged soldiers during the Second World War was already started at the end of the 1920s, under the theoretical influence of Lev Vygotsky and the results of his clinical studies. The first written document of Luria's interest in neuropsychological investigation is the abstract of a conference held on November 27, 1932, a text published in Russian in 1933 and never reprinted, and here translated for the first time into a Western language.
期刊介绍:
CORTEX is an international journal devoted to the study of cognition and of the relationship between the nervous system and mental processes, particularly as these are reflected in the behaviour of patients with acquired brain lesions, normal volunteers, children with typical and atypical development, and in the activation of brain regions and systems as recorded by functional neuroimaging techniques. It was founded in 1964 by Ennio De Renzi.
