This essay discusses the intellectual developments in psychology, linguistics, and behavioral neurology that shaped Oscar Marin's approach to disorders of high cortical function. As Chief of Neurology at Baltimore City Hospitals in the 1970s, Dr Marin teamed with biopsychologist Eleanor Saffran and the author in seminal studies of acquired language disorders (aphasia) centering on core processes of syntax and semantics, and rejecting premature reductionism. The philosophical and methodological principles that motivated these studies are traced through the author's personal recollections and the published writings of the Marin lab. These principles came to be associated with the cognitive neuropsychology school of research and have important linkages to contemporary work in the neuroscience of aphasia and related cognitive disorders.
本文探讨了心理学、语言学和行为神经学领域的学术发展,这些发展塑造了奥斯卡·马林研究高级皮质功能障碍的方法。20世纪70年代,马林博士担任巴尔的摩市医院神经科主任,他与生物心理学家埃莉诺·萨夫兰以及本文作者合作,开展了关于后天性语言障碍(失语症)的开创性研究,重点关注句法和语义的核心过程,并摒弃了过早的还原论。通过作者的个人回忆以及马林实验室发表的著作,追溯了推动这些研究的哲学和方法论原则。这些原则后来与认知神经心理学研究学派联系在一起,并与当代失语症及相关认知障碍神经科学的研究有着重要关联。
