Traditionally, internationalization efforts in higher education
have been rooted in (neo)liberal transactional models that restrict
or compromise the space for meaningful exchanges of socio-cultural
capital. Recently, researchers and practitioners in the
international education field have taken issue with programming and
practices in education abroad; international student recruitment;
and internationalization of the curricula that perpetuate systems
of imbalance, fossilize prejudices, adversely impact host
communities abroad, and limit student learning to the confines of
the Western epistemological traditions. As a result, scholars and
practitioners are creating new paradigms for engagement and
exchange. People-Centered Approaches Toward the
Internationalization of Higher Education is an essential scholarly
publication that examines the praxis of internationalization in
higher education with empirical research and relevant models of
practice that approach the topic critically and responsibly. The
book innovates and (re)humanizes internationalization efforts,
including education abroad, international recruitment,
international scholar and student services, and
internationalization of curriculum, by focusing on the people and
communities touched, intentionally and unintentionally, by said
efforts. It is ideal for higher education faculty, education
professionals, academic advisors, academicians, administrators,
curriculum designers, researchers, and students.

Executive functions develop during the first years of life and
determine future learning and personal development. Executive
dysfunction is related to various neurodevelopmental disorders, so
its study is of great interest for intervention in children with
neurotypical development and in those who have suffered a
neurodevelopmental disorder. The Handbook of Research on
Neurocognitive Development of Executive Functions and Implications
for Intervention offers updated research on executive functions and
their implication in psychoeducational intervention. It establishes
a multidisciplinary context to discuss both intervention experience
and research results in different areas of knowledge. Covering
topics such as childhood inhibitory processing, mindfulness
interventions, and language development, this major reference work
is an excellent resource for psychologists, medical professionals,
researchers, academicians, educators, and students.
