ABSTRACT Instruments currently being used to assess cognitive dysfunction do not grant us the granularity to pinpoint the specific cognitive impairments associated with various disorders. With the advent of sophisticated neuroimaging methods and lesion data, we are in a better position to understand the component processes of the various psychological functions. Here we describe 2 such functions and elucidate how the same refined cognitive methods that are being used to understand the processes underlying these functions can be applied to exploring dysfunctions associated with various psychological disorders.
