Cognitive Neuropsychology in Clinical Practice

The goal of this book is to introduce cognitive neuropsychology to a broad audience of clinicians and researchers. Sufficient introductory material is provided, and each topic is explored in enough depth to serve as a reference for cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuropsychologists. The editor has assembled a prominent group of researchers and clinicians to describe how the vocabulary, theoretical framework, and information-processing models of cognitive psychology are appliedto various disorders of higher cortical function. This cognitive neuropsychological approach is applied to disorders of attention, memory, language, vision, calculation, and motor control.
