Of dogs and diagnoses: Does clinical reasoning still matter in an age of biomarkers, functional imaging, and artificial intelligence?

Abstract

This commentary on Steir's 2026 article asks the question: What is the role of clinical reasoning in an age of advanced diagnostic tools and technological advances? We use the case study presented as a starting point to explore what clinical reasoning might look like in the future and how the skills highlighted in this case may be applicable for future generations of neuropsychologists.
