Cognitive rehabilitation and its relationship to cognitive-neuropsychological rehabilitation

Max Coltheart, Ruth Brunsdon, Lyndsey Nickels

Abstract

Abstract This chapter draws attention to the conceptual and operational differences between cognitive-neuropsychological rehabilitation and cognitive rehabilitation. Three of the major differences are that cognitive-neuropsychological rehabilitation relies on cognitive models of the impaired processing system for assessment and for treatment definition whereas cognitive rehabilitation does not; cognitive-neuropsychological rehabilitation emphasizes restoration of function rather than compensation whereas cognitive rehabilitation does not; and cognitive rehabilitation is used only for treating acquired cognitive disorders whereas cognitive-neuropsychological rehabilitation is applied also to developmental disorders of cognition.
