Determine the Principle of Brain and Behaviour

A second principle is that insight into children's adaptation can be gained through an analysis of brain behaviour relationships. Advances in neurosciences over the past two decades have begun to yield a clearer appreciation of the relationship between the brain and behaviour. Old notions of localisation have been replaced by more dynamic models involving the interaction of multiple brain regions. The assessment of brain behaviour relationships in children is quite complex and clearly depends upon factors such as the age of the child, the specific cognitive skills and behaviours assessed, the type of disorder under consideration and the nature of the documented or hypothesized brain impairment.
