Single vs Double Dissociation
A single dissociation occurs when we find a case of a lesion in region x resulting in a deficit of function a but not function b.
A double dissociation - If we find another case, in which a lesion in region y results in a deficit in function b but not in function a, then we have a double dissociation.
