摘要：The motivation for this study was to contrast two approaches in assessment of agraphia - Russianphysiological and psychological tradition with the cognitive neuropsychological approach (CNP).According to Russian psychology and physiology: 1) the goal oriented activity of the subject affectsthe structure of function (Bernstein, 2008; Anokhin, 1980); 2) specificity of human psychologicalfunctions is culturally and historically determined (Vygotsky, 2005, Luria, 2000; Leontiev, 2000).These positions are not always taken into account in the CNP approach, that explain the pattern oferrors observed across most cases as a result of damage to one or more cognitive pathways.
