A fundamental reason that scientists study brain-behavior relationships is to discover new ways to understand and enhance the everyday lives of people with neurocognitive disorders. Moreover, establishing the link between cognitive deficits and problems in everyday functioning is a critical component of diagnosing neurocognitive disorders and designing effective rehabilitation plans. Yet only about 1% of the over 10,000 studies published in the major neuropsychology journals over the past 35 years have focused on the intersection of cognition and everyday functioning. Clearly, researchers have much left to learn. This special issue of Neuropsychology therefore highlights new empirical findings and conceptual work that move the needle on our understanding of brain and cognition in the context of daily life.

科学家研究大脑与行为关系的一个根本原因是发现新方法，以理解和改善患有神经认知障碍者的日常生活。此外，确立认知缺陷与日常功能问题之间的联系是诊断神经认知障碍和设计有效康复计划的关键组成部分。然而，在过去35年里，在主要神经心理学杂志上发表的一万多项研究中，只有约1%关注认知与日常功能的交叉点。显然，研究人员还有很多有待学习的地方。因此，本期《神经心理学》特刊重点介绍了新的实证研究结果和概念性研究工作，这些成果推动了我们在日常生活背景下对大脑和认知的理解。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
