====Emergence of neuropsychology====
Perhaps the first serious attempts to localize mental functions to specific locations in the brain was by [[Paul Broca|Broca]] and [[Carl Wernicke|Wernicke]]. This was mostly achieved by studying the effects of injuries to different parts of the brain on psychological functions.<ref name=Uttal2011/> In 1861, French neurologist Paul Broca came across a man with a disability who was able to understand the language but unable to speak. The man could only produce the sound "tan". It was later discovered that the man had damage to an area of his left frontal lobe now known as [[Broca's area]]. Carl Wernicke, a [[Germany|German]] [[neurologist]], found a patient who could speak fluently but non-sensibly. The patient had been the victim of a [[stroke]], and could not understand spoken or written language. This patient had a lesion in the area where the left parietal and temporal lobes meet, now known as [[Wernicke's area]]. These cases, which suggested that lesions caused specific behavioral changes, strongly supported the localizationist view. Additionally, Aphasia is a learning disorder which was also discovered by Paul Broca. According to, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aphasia |url=https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/aphasia |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=www.hopkinsmedicine.org |language=en}}</ref> This can often lead to the person speaking words with no sense known as "word salad" <ref>{{Cite web |title=Wernicke area {{!}} Definition, Location, Function, & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/science/Wernicke-area |access-date=2022-04-27 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref>
