Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the history of the development of modern neuropsychology. The criticisms of Watson's connectionist ideas by both Lashley and Hebb are examined and an argument is made that Hebb's proposals mirrored those of Lashley in important ways, raising the question of priority. The author relates discussion to a critique of contemporary perspectives in neuropsychological theory. A collection of Lashley's papers and lectures dating from 1924 to 1958 is included to help support the author's theses. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
