Examples
In practice, clinicians will often use a blend of assessment approaches, which include broad subtyping based on a localizationist framework, and some finer exploration of specific language skills based on the cognitive neuropsychological framework.

These cases, which suggested that lesions caused specific behavioral changes, strongly supported the localizationist view.
