Cognitive neuropsychology seeks to understand impairments of
specific cognitive functions in relation to a model of normal
cognitive processing. The conclusions drawn from the study of
abnormal processes are in turn used in the development and testing
of theories of normal cognition. First published in 1988, this
seminal book represented an attempt to synthesize and systematize
progress in the study of cognitive neuropsychology and therefore
provides an important snapshot of the field at the time. In
addition to reviewing different forms of impairment and discussing
their implications for theories of normal function, this book also
examines the empirical and theoretical foundations of the subject
including the use of single-case studies and the assumptions that
must be made about the mind and brain. This classic edition marks
25 years in print, and includes a brand new introduction written by
the authors, Ellis and Young. The Augmented Edition of Human
Cognitive Neuropsychology published in 1997 is also still
available. This classic edition will be important reading for
students of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and
neuropsychology.
