  • Postscript-Future Directions
    Postscript-Future Directions To predict the future is a daunting task. At the time of publication of the previous edition of this book I certainly would not have predicted the developments in or the effects of outside forces such as managed care on the field. Perhaps instead of future directions, we should talk of necessary improvements. In general, I think the field will see a greater degree of psychometric sophistication among clinicians and researchers. The increased use of Item Response Theory and Generalizability Theory to evaluate the precision of measurement would be a positive development. Along those lines, the evaluation and conceptualization of validity as a diffractionable entity rather than a monolith will help us to better understand and use the assessment techniques at our disposal. The general conceptualization of a test as a method-construct unit will also aid our understanding. Among the forms of validity, ecological validity will see a much greater emphasis. As behavioral scientists, it is important that we concentrate on our specialty-behavior-and the relationship of behavior to the environment. The greater use of confirmatory factor analysis will also positively impact on assessment methods. Exploratory factor analysis still has a place, but the greater certainty of comparing different factor solutions will help resolve some standing questions. The most obvious direction for future research is to conduct studies that will help elucidate the relationships between traditional neuropsychological assessment results and behaviors in the open environment. This would require the development of methods to evaluate the degree of success in performing the behaviors. Relevant sources of informa­ tion include direct behavioral observation, self-report, and report by significant others.

  • 1 Language and the Brain Colin Phillips, University of Maryland
    Language and the Brain Colin Phillips, University of Maryland & Kuniyoshi L. Sakai, University of Tokyo Many species have evolved sophisticated communication systems, but human language stands out as special in at least two respects, both of which contribute to the vast expressive power of human language. First, humans are able to memorize many thousands of words, each of which encodes a piece of meaning using an arbitrary sound or gesture. By some estimates, during the preschool and primary school years a child learns an average of 5-10 new words per day, on the way to attaining a vocabulary of 20,000-50,000 words by adulthood. Second, humans are able to combine words to form sentences and discourses, making it possible to communicate infinitely many different messages, and providing the basis of human linguistic creativity. Furthermore, speakers are able to generate and understand novel messages quickly and effortlessly, on the scale of hundreds of milliseconds. Linguists and cognitive neuroscientists are interested in understanding what special properties of the human brain make such feats possible. Efforts to answer this question go back at least 150 years. A great deal of attention has been given to the issue of which regions of the human brain are most important for language, first using findings from brain-damaged patients, and in recent years adding a wealth of new information from modern non-invasive brain recording techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). However, it is important to bear in mind that knowing where language is supported in the human brain is just one step on the path to finding what are the special properties of those brain regions that make language possible.

  • Norman Geschwind
    Norman Geschwind When a scholar dies after long years of productivity, the intellectual contributions are more readily assessed than when death occurs in the ascendancy of a brilliant but foreshortened career. Then, the passage of time may temper or verify the optimistic predictions voiced at the acute loss. With his exceptional powers of astute clinical observation, extensive knowledge of the neurological literature, verve and creative imagination, Norman Geschwind generated countless lively ideas that challenged himself and colleagues world-wide. Now, a decade and a half after his passing, we can savor the fact that many of his ideas have matured, benefiting from the development of new experimental techniques and the subsequent work of his successors. Norman Geschwind, MD, ’51 died on 4 November 1984 at the age of 58. He had been ill at home but a few minutes, and suffered irretrievable cardiac arrest in the presence of a physician calling on him. A native of New York City, Dr. Geschwind was tutored at Harvard College in two stretches that sandwiched a pair of years in the United States Army Infantry. Following graduation, magna cum laude, in 1947, he studied at Harvard Medical School, receiving his medical degree cum laude in 1951. After internship in medicine at Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital, he began specialty training in neurology with three years at National Hospital, Queen’s Square, London under a Moseley Traveling Fellowship, then as a USPHS Research Fellow. Chief residency followed under Derek Denny-Brown in the neurological unit, Boston City Hospital, then two years of research on axonal physiology with Francis O.

    THE ANIMATED MIND OF GABRIELLE LÉVY Peter J Koehler, MD, PhD, FAAN Zuyderland Medical Cente Heerlen, The Netherlands "Sa vie fut un exemple de labeur, de courage, d'énergie, de ténacité, tendus vers ce seul but, cette seule raison: le travail et le devoir à accomplir"1 [Her life was an example of labor, of courage, of energy, of perseverance, directed at that single target, that single reason: the work and the duty to fulfil] These are words, used by Gustave Roussy, days after the early death at age 48, in 1934, of his colleague Gabrielle Lévy. Eighteen years previously they had written their joint paper on seven cases of a particular familial disease that became known as Roussy-Lévy disease.2 In the same in memoriam he added "And I have to say that in our collaboration, in which my name was often mentioned with hers, it was almost always her first idea and the largest part was done by her". Who was this Gabrielle Lévy and what did she achieve during her short life? Gabrielle Lévy Gabrielle Charlotte Lévy was born on January 11th, 1886 in Paris.*,1,3 Her father was Emile Gustave Lévy (1844- 1912; from Colmar in the Alsace region, working in the textile branch), who had married Mina Marie Lang (1851- 1903; from Durmenach, also in the Alsace) in 1869. They had five children (including four boys), the youngest of whom was Gabrielle. At first she was interested in the arts, music in particular. Although not loosing that interest, she chose to study medicine and became a pupil of the well-known Paris neurologist Pierre Marie and his pupils (Meige, Foix, Souques, Crouzon, Laurent, Roussy and others), who had been professor of anatomic-pathology since 1907 and succeeded Dejerine at the chair of neurology ('maladies du système nerveux'; that had been created for Jean-Martin Charcot in 1882).
