| Citation | Distinguished for her numerous original contributions across several areas of human neuropsychology. She has made notable fundamental advances, in particular, in her elegant studies of visual perception, memory, and language in patients with brain damage, showing how disturbances to these capacities lead to important inferences about the logical structure of the normal capacities, and to the organisation of neural systems in the human brain. The studies have been very influential in developments in computational analysis in artificial intelligence and in a range of theoretical and empirical developments in cognitive psychology, where her work is frequently cited internationally. At the same time, her methods have been important and useful in generating practical techniques for the diagnosis and assessment of a wide range of disabilities in neurological patients. |
