Why Is Eleanor Saffran Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Eleanor M. Saffran , an American neuroscientist, was a researcher in the field of Cognitive Neuropsychology. Her interest in Neuropsychology began at the Baltimore City hospitals of Johns Hopkins University, where her research unit focused on neurological patients with language or cognitive impairments. In papers published between 1976 and 1982, Dr. Saffran spelled out the methodological tenets of “cognitive neuropsychology” exemplified in her studies of aphasia, alexia , auditory verbal agnosia, and short-term memory impairment.
