Alexander Romanovich Luria


Alexander Luria is the Russian neuropsychologist responsible for the origination of clinical psychoneurological assessment after WWII.[1] Building upon his originative contribution connecting the voluntary and involuntary functions influencing behavior, Luria further conjoins the methodical structures and associations of neurological processes in the brain.[2] Luria developed the ‘combined motor method’ to measure thought processes based on the reaction times when three simultaneous tasks are appointed that require a verbal response.[1]
