  • Evaluation of Localisation of Function
  • SUPPORT
  • CHALLENGE
  • ANIMAL RESEARCH
  • CASE STUDY
  • Phineas Cage- Metal Rod through head
  • Went through prefrontal cortex an area responsible for personality. 
  • Accounts say his personality changed after the accident supporting LOF.
  • HOWEVER, very individual case study so can't be generalised 
  • Study suffers from temporal validity issues because the research is based on sketchy accounts
  • Research into the effects of removal of brain matter would have on a rats ability to remember a maze pattern
  • Learning is too complicated and requires the involvement of the whole brain
  • HOWEVER, rats brains are biologically different from humans (less grey matter) therefore, research can't be generalised.
  • PLASTICITY RESEARCH
  • Case studies of children born with only one hemisphere have shown that it is possible to function normal lives with only one half of the brain.
  • This limits the theory that localisation can only occur in certain parts of the brain.
