These controversies generally lead clinicians to question the right way to evaluate and interpret apraxic manifestations. In this paper, we review recent insights into the mechanisms underlying the different types of apraxia. After a few historical reminders useful for understanding the cognitive models that have emerged in the early 80s, we discuss the contribution of studies conducted over the past 15 years that question the validity of the assumptions derived from cognitive models. For clarity, we only address the evaluation of meaningless posture imitation, pantomime production and effective tool use. We hope that the discussion presented in this paper will be useful to clinicians but also to students in neuropsychology.
