July 2012 is a 30 jubilee of ICP Congresses and 110 anniversary of Alexander Luria’s birth. It is a good moment to cherish the memory of this extraordinary man and scientist. To understand the legacy and contribution to psychology of this worldwide recognized psychologist, even after his death in 1977, I will analyze in my presentation the lines of Luria’s communications and cooperation with other eminent scientists of his time: Luria and Freud, Luria and Pavlov, Luria and Bekhterev, Luria and Vygotsky, Luria and Pribram, Luria and Bruner, Luria and Jakobson, Luria and Sacks, Luria and Cole and more. It permits us to evaluate Luria’s contribution to general psychology, neuropsychology, developmental psychology, neurolinguistics, psychogenetics, special education, theory of rehabilitation and other fields. All these different fields of Luria’s interests have common base – the inextricable relation between mind, brain and culture. The cultural-historical psychological theory, created by Luria and Vygotsky influenced deeply all branches of psychology. A model of development of neuropsychology in Lurian and post-Lurian periods will be presented, including development of methods of neuropsychological assessment, the influence of Luria’s qualitative analysis on modern psychometric batteries and possibilities to combine qualitative and quantitative approaches in evaluation of assessment data. The longer we live without Luria, the more majestic his personality becomes, the more evident is the influence of his creative and comprehensive approach on further development of psychology throughout the world.
