Le piu recenti acquisizioni della neuropsicologia cognitiva hanno consentito di focalizzare la natura dei processi linguistici e comunicativi, individuando i correlati fisiologici ed anatomici sottostanti alla produzione (encoding) e alla comprensione (decoding) del linguaggio. La prima sezione intende esplorare i paradigmi, i metodi e gli strumenti della neuropsicologia "per" la comunicazione. In particolare viene fornita una sintesi dei piu recenti approcci di ricerca e degli strumenti empirici applicati allo studio del processo comunicativo, tra i quali la rilevazione dei correlati fisiologici (indici periferici), cognitivi (indici centrali, tra cui i potenziali evento-correlati), e le rilevazioni mediante neuroimaging (come la risonanza magnetica funzionale). Nella seconda sezione del contributo vengono prese in considerazione le componenti pragmatiche della comunicazione. Recenti modelli hanno focalizzato la propria attenzione su alcuni fenomeni peculiari dello scambio comunicativo che evidenziano il ruolo prioritario del "voler dire" nella comunicazione ordinaria. Specificamente facciamo riferimento ai fenomeni dell'ironia e della comunicazione idiomatica, della metafora e, piu in generale, del linguaggio iconico o figurato. Particolare attenzione sara riservata alle recenti acquisizioni empiriche che hanno sottolineato l'indipendenza delle componenti pragmatiche rispetto al piano prettamente "linguistico." La terza sezione del contributo intende analizzare il piano comunicativo non-verbale, con particolare attenzione alla comunicazione delle emozioni. Piu specificamente vengono prese in considerazione le componenti mimiche (volto) e vocali (voce) nell'encoding e nel decoding delle emozioni."

We possess a priceless and powerful treasure: our voice. The Power of the Voice is a scientific and personal voyage of exploration into the vocal instrument that each of us possesses without necessarily understanding it, or knowing the true measure of its power. An alchemy between body and mind, instrument of persuasion and charm, our voice is the reflection of our personality. It can bring us fortune or cause our loss. It fascinates scientists, philosophers and doctors, and those interested in caring for the voice. From the voices that seduce us to the voices that lead us, the author unveils the secrets of the voice, and its power of attraction. How is the human voice formed? How does our voice change according to our emotions, situations, and conversations? How do politicians, performers, teachers, or seducers, develop the power of their voices? Enriched with numerous delightful anecdotes, including some about celebrities and politicians, the reader will better understand how the voice can inspire attraction and even repulsion. This fascinating read will be of interest to people who use their voice often, including singers, actors, teachers, comedians, journalists, politicians, and lawyers, and anyone with an interest in the human voice.

Nonostante negli ultimi trent'anni anni numerosissime siano state le ricerche sperimentali aventi per oggetto la relazione tra emisfero cerebrale destro ed i processi di comunicazione verbale, nel panorama della letteratura nazionale non e presente un testo che riferisca dei frutti di tali ricerche.

L'obiettivo di questo volume, pertanto, e di riferire in modo completo lo stato attuale delle conoscenze sul contributo fornito dall'emisfero destro ai processi di comunicazione verbale. Nello specifico, vengono prese in considerazione le competenze prosodiche, semantico-lessicali, pragmatiche e piu latamente testuali. Attraverso la semplificazione del linguaggio e la schematizzazione dei concetti basilari gli autori hanno realizzato un efficace strumento didattico. Ipotesi e risultati, anche contrastanti, sono stati riportati con l'obiettivita e la competenza necessarie per un'opera che vuole informare oltre che formare, suscitare desiderio di indagine personale ed essere utile in ambiti professionali diversi."

Grazie alla memoria semantica attribuiamo un significato agli oggetti dell'esperienza. Il suo posto nell'ambito delle funzioni cognitive e di primaria importanza se si pensa che essa e coinvolta in operazioni quali la comprensione del linguaggio e il riconoscimento delle cose che ci circondano. Questo volume ha per oggetto gli aspetti teorici e clinici della memoria semantica e della sua compromissione in soggetti portatori di un danno cerebrale. Nella prima parte, argomenti di interesse piu generale, come i rapporti tra parole, concetti ed entita reali, vengono trattati da un punto di vista strettamente neuropsicologico, ripercorrendo l'evoluzione del concetto di "disturbo della sfera semantica" dalle origini ottocentesche della ricerca su soggetti affetti da lesioni cerebrali ai modelli piu attuali, proposti per spiegare i deficit semantici in corso di patologie come l'ictus cerebrale o la malattia di Alzheimer. La seconda parte del volume, piu direttamente rivolta agli operatori del settore, e dedicata a due importanti questioni di interesse clinico: il problema della "diagnosi differenziale" tra disturbo semantico ed altri deficit cognitivi e quello della riabilitazione della memoria semantica nel soggetto cerebroleso.

A partire dagli anni '80, numerosi ricercatori nel campo della riabilitazione dei disturbi del linguaggio del cerebroleso adulto hanno introdotto la distinzione tra competenza linguistica e competenza comunicativa. Gli stessi autori hanno ipotizzato che l'approccio riabilitativo, ivi inclusa la valutazione del paziente, non dovrebbe essere indirizzato esclusivamente al recupero di abilita linguistiche ma contemplare anche trattamenti volti a sviluppare le capacita di interazione comunicativa in particolari contesti. Questi trattamenti, cosiddette terapie ad orientamento pragmatico-funzionale, sono stati inizialmente concepiti con carattere "complementare" o "sostitutivo" alle terapie di stimolazione del linguaggio, e hanno visto scarsa diffusione nel nostro paese nonostante la loro dimostrata efficacia. Negli anni successivi, l'acquisizione da parte dei neuropsicologi che la variabile contestuale interagisce significativamente con il "processing" linguistico del paziente cerebroleso ha comportato la formulazione di nuovi paradigmi di trattamento. Uno di questi e certamente la terapia P.A.C.E. che ha conosciuto ampia diffusione nel mondo occidentale per la sua riconosciuta efficacia ed il suo rigoroso impianto metodologico.

1 Einleitung und Grundlagen 1.1 Einleitung Explodierende Kosten im Gesundheitswesen sind eines der grossten volkswirt schaftlichen Probleme in allen westlichen Landern. Steigende Nachfrage nach medizinischen Leistungen und budgetierte Ausgaben stehen einander gegenuber. Besonders stark sind neue Technologien diesem Spannungsfeld ausgesetzt, da sie von grossem Nutzen fur die betroffenen Patientengruppen sind, jedoch zur glei chen Zeit zusatzliche, haufig hohe Kosten verursachen. Um die optimale Vertei lung der begrenzten Mittel im Gesundheitswesen sicherzustellen, sind gesund heitsokonomische Analysen notwendig, in denen Kosten und Nutzen verschiede ner Behandlungsmethoden miteinander verglichen werden, z.B. konventionelle Behandlungen mit neuen Therapieformen. Cochlea-Implantate (CI) gehoren zu den Therapien, die auf einer neuen Tech nologie beruhen und mit denen seit Anfang der siebziger Jahre taube oder ertaubte Patienten behandelt werden.

La parola afasia denota i deficit del linguaggio secondari a patologie cerebrali focali e diffuse e puo assumere forme diversissime, a seconda dei meccanismi linguistici colpiti o risparmiati dalla lesione cerebrale. Il disturbo afasico danneggia le capacita comunicative (e spesso anche lavorative) e non e migliorato, tranne eccezioni, dalle terapie mediche disponibili. Le possibilita di incidere su questo deficit sono dunque affidate, per il momento, alla logopedia. Il presupposto per un trattamento riabilitativo adeguato ed efficace e una diagnosi neuropsicologica accurata che stabilisca il livello di compromissione del sistema linguistico e identifichi le componenti cognitive risparmiate o compromesse dal danno cerebrale. L'esame neuropsicologico dell'afasia (E.N.P.A.) qui proposto comprende una serie di test che valutano la presenza, la gravita e le principali caratteristiche dell'afasia nel soggetto esaminato. Per semplicita e brevita l'E.N.P.A. puo essere somministrato anche a soggetti gravi e/o di livello scolare non elevato.

This book addresses the central problem of music cognition: how listeners' responses move beyond mere registration of auditory events to include the organization, interpretation, and remembrance of these events in terms of their function in a musical context of pitch and rhythm. Equally important, the work offers an analysis of the relationship between the psychological organization of music and its internal structure. Combining over a decade of original research on music cognition with an overview of the available literature, the work will be of interest to cognitive and physiological psychologists, psychobiologists, musicians, music researchers, and music educators. The author provides the necessary background in experimental methodology and music theory so that no specialized knowledge is required for following her major arguments.
