S. M. Sokol et al. (1991) claim that "The Cognitive Neuropsychology Approach" (p. 355) is limited to the single-case study design. The present article takes issue with this claim. Contrary to the beliefs of Sokol et al., we argue (a) that cognitive modularity is best studied by group design, (b) that the possibility of neural reorganization in patients should be tested through converging evidence from different populations using various methods, and (c) that cognitive neuropsychology can benefit from being a part of cognitive neuroscience where both neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying normal cognition are relevant.
S. M. 索科尔等人（1991年）声称，“认知神经心理学方法”（第355页）局限于单病例研究设计。本文对这一说法提出质疑。与索科尔等人的观点相反，我们认为：（a）认知模块性最好通过组设计来研究；（b）患者神经重组的可能性应通过使用各种方法从不同人群中获取的汇聚证据来检验；（c）认知神经心理学作为认知神经科学的一部分会从中受益，在认知神经科学中，正常认知背后的神经和认知机制都具有相关性。
