Abstract
All regression studies conform to a general model of intervention (Fig. 1). As new experimental settings are used to explore the limits of regressive change, some interventions will doubtless have only minimal or no favorable effects, and the possibility of lesion worsening is always present. In this presentation, however, we are not concerned with factors that might tend to override all regressive effects. Our focus is on the sequences of change that may occur in studies in which regression has been unequivocally established.
