Abstract

The psychological structure of cognition is

often inferred from conjoint measures of

behaviour (such as reaction time) and brain

activation (such as cerebral blood flow). In

many experiments these measures produce

divergent results. One example is v^^here a

significant pattern of brain activation occurs

without a corresponding change in overt

behaviour. In such circumstances, can

cognitive theory be informed from brainactivation

data alone? Or, given the more

established link between behaviour and

cognition, is behavioural corroboration

necessary?
