neuropsychologyComparativeNeuropsychology refers to an approach used for understanding human brain functions. It involves the direct evaluation of clinical neurological populations by employing experimental methods originally developed for use with nonhuman animals. Over many decades of animal research, methods were perfected to study the effects of well defined brain lesion s on specific behaviors, and later the tasks were modified for human use. Generally the modifications involve changing the reward from food to money, but standard administration of the tasks in humans still involves minimal instructions, thus necessitating a degree of procedural memory procedural learning in human and nonhuman animals alike. Currently, comparativeneuropsychology is used with neurological patients to link specific deficits with localized areas of the brain. The comparative neuropsychological approach employs simple tasks that can be mastered without relying upon language skills. Precisely because these simple paradigms do not require linguistic strategies for solution, they are especially useful for working with patients whose language skills are compromised, or whose cognitive skills may be minimal. Comparativeneuropsychology contrasts with the traditional approach of using tasks that rely upon linguistic skills, and that were designed to study human cognition. Because important ambiguities about its heuristic value had not been addressed empirically, only recently has comparativeneuropsychology become popular for implementation with brain damage brain damaged patients. Within the past decade, comparativeneuropsychology has had prevalent use as a framework for comparing and contrasting the performances of disparate neurobehavioral populations on similar tasks.

neuropsychology Cognitive neuropsychology is a branch of cognitive psychology that aims to understand how the structure and function of the brain relates to specific psychological processes. It places a particular emphasis on studying the cognitive effects of acquired brain injury brain injury or neurological illness with a view to inferring models of normal cognitive functioning. Evidence is based on case studies of individual brain damaged patients who show deficits in brain areas and from patients who exhibit double dissociation s. From these studies researchers infer that different areas of the brain are highly specialised. It can be distinguished from cognitive neuroscience which is also interested in brain damaged patients but is particularly focused on uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes. ref name Schater 2000 The term cognitive neuropsychology often connotes ... its cavity... ref Phineas Gage References Harlow 1868 ref The modern science of cognitive neuropsychology ... semantic memory. 4 5 Many other studies like this have been done in the field of neuropsychology ..., if not the beginning of modern cognitive neuropsychology.

For Dissociation disambiguation Dissociation Neuropsychology In neuropsychology , dissociation involves identifying the neural substrate of a particular brain function through identification of case studies, neuroimaging, or neuropsychological testing. Single dissociation When dissecting complex mental tasks into their subcomponents, a researcher can establish a single dissociation between functions. This is done by demonstrating that a lesion to brain structure A disrupts function X but not function Y. Such a demonstration allows one to infer that function X and function Y are independent of each other in some way. Dr. Oliver Sacks has described many famous cases of dissociation in his books. An example of single dissociation is a patient who cannot name an object when he or she can only see it, but can when he or she uses other senses like touching or smelling. Patient D.F. was unable to place a card in a slot, but could do so when told to place it as if mailing a letter . From this the conclusion was drawn that judging orientation is one ability which D.F. had lost and visual control of an action another which D.F. could still do . ref name Goldstein E.

Comparative cognition is the comparative study of the mechanisms and origins of cognition in various species . From a biological point of view, work is being done on the brains of Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies that should yield techniques precise enough to allow an understanding of the workings of the human brain on a scale appreciative of individual groups of neurons rather than the more regional scale previously used. Similarly, gene activity in the human brain is better understood through examination of the brains of mice by the Seattle based Allen Institute for Brain Science see link below , yielding the freely available Allen Brain Atlas . This type of study is related to comparative cognition, but better classified as one of comparative genomics . Increasing emphasis in psychology and ethology on the biological aspects of perception and behavior is bridging the gap between genomics and behavioral analysis .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Sociology Comparative sociology generally refers to sociological analysis that involves comparison of social processes between nation states , or across different types of society for example capitalism capitalist and socialist . There are two main approaches to comparative sociology some seek similarity across different countries and cultures whereas others seek variance. For example, structural Marxists have attempted to use comparative methods to discover the general processes that underlie apparently different social orderings in different societies. The danger of this approach is that the different social contexts are overlooked in the search for supposed universal structures. One sociologist who employed comparative methods to understand variance was Max Weber, whose studies attempted to show how differences between cultures explained the different social orderings that had emerged see for example The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and Sociology of Religion . There is some debate within sociology regarding whether the label of comparative is suitable. Emile Durkheim argued in The Rules of Sociological Method 1895 that all sociological research was in fact comparative since social phenomenon are always held to be typical, representative or unique, all of which imply some sort of comparison. In this sense, all sociological analysis is comparative and it has been suggested that what is normally referred to as comparative research, may be more appropriately called cross national research .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Comparative biology is a multidisciplinary approach to understanding organismic diversity biodiversity that uses natural variation and disparity to elucidate phylogenetic history. Comparative biologists attempt to understand the diversity and complexity of life at all levels from genes, to anatomy, to behavior and the critical role of organisms in ecosystems. Integrating these specific research areas is the objective of comparative biology, a field that not only promises to give us a broader, more meaningful understanding of life on Earth, but also provides a foundation for our effort to secure a sustainable environmental future. An improved knowledge of life in all its complexity is key to dealing with the especially urgent challenges of today that come with the loss of species due to the destruction or disruption of natural habitats via human mediated processes such as global warming . Comparative biology encompasses Evolutionary Biology , Systematics , Neontology , Paleontology , Ethology , Anthropology , and Biogeography as well as historical approaches to Developmental biology , Genomics , Physiology , Ecology and many other areas of the biological sciences. Whereas much of biology tends to focus on a single exemplar organism or a small subset of model organisms, comparative biology is a cross lineage approach to understanding the phylogenetic history and interactions among individuals or higher taxa . The comparative approach also has numerous applications in human health, genetics , biomedicine , and conservation biology . Comparative biological relationships are usually presented on a phylogenetic tree or cladogram to differentiate those features with single origins Homology biology Homology from those with multiple origins Homoplasy .
