Date1995
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationDistinguished for his role in the emergence of cognitive neuropsychology as an independent scientific discipline.. He contributed to the discovery of the neurological basis of short-term memory; this work was one of the first to characterise a syndrome by an information-processing model using methods from experimental psychology. He applied the approach to analysing other provious undescribed syndromes, principally of literacy skills (explaining them by new models). Since 1980 he has developed an influential theory of frontal lobe function and described related phenomena. Throughout he has been a leading theoretician in cognitive neuropsychology, unrivalled for his analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of different empirical and theoretical approaches in the field.
