520			_aDoes the case study, as a traditional and even paradigmatic approach to neuropsychology research, still have a future? This question seems particularly pressing if we consider the progress of neuroimaging, calls to form large groups of individuals, or doubts over the statistical robustness of certain studies. To answer this question, we present a brief overview of the main cases that have punctuated the history of memory research, up to the most recent ones. We distinguish four periods: (1) the beginnings of neuropsychology up to the 1950s; (2) the 1950s to the 1990s, during which amnesia and declarative memory were defined in detail; (3) the late 1990s to 2010, when dissociations, in particular between context-free and context-rich memory, were brought to light; and (4) the most recent, still ongoing period, with radical proposals and controversy over models based on processes and representations, and more generally, the role of medial temporal lobe structures in memory being challenged. Moreover, the vitality and even the necessity of neuropsychological case studies is highlighted, as new syndromes impacting memory are identified and important new issues emerge, particularly concerning brain plasticity. The latest single-case studies combine state of the art neuroimaging methodology and hypotheses-based neuropsychological investigations, clearly demonstrating that case studies continue to contribute fruitfully and heuristically to neuropsychology research.
