Overview or "underview"? Comment on Satz and Fletcher's "Emergent trends in neuropsychology: An overview."

Argues that P. Satz and J. M. Fletcher (see record 1982-05864-001) ignored research contradicting their dismissal of evidence of the greater plasticity and recovery from damage of the infant than adult brain as "myths." It is also argued that their overview also failed to consider critical complications that may limit or reverse patterns of recovery and overlooked accumulating evidence of principles not only underlying the pathogenic mechanism in earlier or later disorganizations of cerebral functions and principles of their organization but especially their reorganization following brain insults in infants and adults.
