Significance of this concept for neuropsychology:
1) Compensatory potential – limited damage to one part of the brain can be compensated by other networks while maintaining functional performance.
2) Sensitivity of the global organization – any lack of coordination between functional systems can lead to significant difficulties, even if no area is directly damaged.
3) Comprehensive understanding of difficulties – diagnosis and intervention focus not only on the site of the lesion, but also on how it affects the entire brain system, allowing for the development of accurate and effective treatment plans.
