If one envisages neuroscience as a pyramid, with the more mole- lar
disciplines forming the base and the more integrative d- ciplines
positioned above, then neuropsychology clearly would be near the
tip. Neuropsychology seeks to find order in the ultimate product of
all neural systems, namely behavior, and to relate that product to
its neural substrate. Relationships between brain and behavior are
sought, but reductionistic explanations are eschewed. Attempting to
"explain" complex behaviors in terms of neuronal activity is no
more satisfying than attempting to "explain" artificial
intelligence in terms of voltages within a computer's central pr-
essing unit. If one is to comprehend the functioning of either the
brain or the digital computer, one must know something about not
only the structure and mechanics of the device, but also the prin-
ples according to which components of the device are organized and
the context in which the device is operating (e.g., environm- tal
inputs and stored information).
