Question

What is a disadvantage of studying individuals with brain injuries?
A) Brain injuries are typically not limited to a specific brain function
B) It is difficult to find an individual who has a brain injury
C) Brain injuries are often easily healed
D) Brain functions are too complex to be studied in individuals with brain injuries
