Abstract
It is now a decade since the simultaneous-successive model of cognitive abilities, derived from the work of A.R. Luria, was publicised in Psychological Bulletin, (Das, Kirby & Jarman, 1975). More recently, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (Kaufman & Kaufman, 1983), which is explicitly based on Luria’s theory of functional organisation in the human brain and incorporates extensive measures of simultaneous and successive information processing, has attracted a great deal of attention, and reviews of it (Sewell, 1983; Sternberg, 1983) have raised relevant questions about the validity of Luria’s theory.
