Two psychologists are debating how best to design cognitive rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries. Dr. Aris argues that rehabilitation must focus on the mind's 'software'—re-training internal mental processes such as selective attention, information processing, and memory encoding. Dr. Vance argues that rehabilitation must target the physical 'hardware'—focusing on localized brain structures, neural plasticity, and biochemical pathways.
With reference to the debate between Dr. Aris and Dr. Vance, discuss to what extent the cognitive area is different from the biological area. Support your answer with evidence from appropriate core studies.
