Declining or Waning
- Traditional Neuropsychological Assessments:
There is a noticeable decline in studies relying solely on traditional neuropsychological assessments, as newer methodologies, particularly neuroimaging and computational modeling, gain traction. - Basic Neuroscience without Computational Models:
Research focusing on basic neuroscience principles without integrating computational models is becoming less common, as the field increasingly prioritizes dynamic modeling approaches. - Single Modal Studies:
The prevalence of studies using a single modality of data collection (e.g., only EEG or fMRI) is diminishing in favor of multimodal approaches that provide more comprehensive insights. - Generalized Cognitive Theories:
Broad cognitive theories that do not incorporate specific neurodynamic or computational frameworks are becoming less favored, as researchers seek more precise models that account for neural dynamics.
