El presente trabajo es teórico y pretende ofrecer una revisión metodológica en una rama de la psicología que está en pleno auge, la neuropsicología cognitiva. El trabajo consta de los siguientes puntos: definición de la neuropsicología cognitiva y delimitación del concepto frente a la neuropsicología tradicional; relaciones entre la neuropsicología y la psicología cognitivas; métodos actuales en neuropsicología cognitiva, esto es, descripción y consideraciones de las distintas aproximaciones metodológicas; razones para el estudio de caso único, el método de la coherencia con el paciente, el método de la disociación en base a la hipótesis de la modularidad, el método de las constelaciones de síntomas y, por último, los requisitos necesarios para el sistemático estudio de caso único; críticas y conclusiones.
