This textbook augments the first edition through the inclusion of a
set of reseach and review papers selected by the authors to
supplement the contents of each chapter by providing a discussion
of research issues and detailed investigation of individual cases.
One or two papers supplement each chapter. A short introduction to
each set makes clear the nature of their contribution and how they
relate to each chapter's contents. Some of the papers are short
reviews of theoretical contributions; others are case studies in
the tradition of cognitive neuropsychology. At least three of the
main trends discernible in cognitive neuropsychology in the 1990s
are represented in the chosen papers. The first is the use of
connectionist models to simulate patterns of impairment in
brain-injured patients. The second is the growing convergence
between cognitive neuropsychology and neuroscience: cognitive
neuropsychologists are becoming increasingly interested in the
brain processes that underlie the preserved and damaged
psychological processes they study. The third trend is the
involvement of cognitive neuropsychologists in work on therapy and
rehabilitation.
