The goal of this book is to introduce cognitive neuropsychology to
a broad audience of clinicians and researchers. To orient readers
who are interested in disorders of higher cortical function, but
have little background in psychology, sufficient introductory
material is provided, and yet each topic is explored in enough
depth to serve as a reference for cognitive psychologists and
cognitive neuropsychologists. The editor, David Margolin, M.D.,
Ph.D., has assembled a prominent group of researchers and
clinicians, and each describes how the vocabulary, theoretical
framework, and information-processing models of cognitive
psychology are applied to various disorders of higher cortical
function. Each chapter provides an overview of the disorder being
discussed, develops a rationale for selecting the stimulus
materials, and demonstrates how a given patient's deficits can be
understood in terms of a breakdown in one or more cognitive
domains. The contributors gear the chapters toward the practicing
clinicians and use a step-by-step description of how one goes about
determining the locus of the deficit in a patient. This cognitive
neuropsychological approach is applied to disorders of attention,
memory, language, vision, calculation, and motor control. A final
chapter introduces the important role of neuroimaging techniques in
diagnosis, which will continue to aid our understanding of
brain-behavior relationships. Professionals in the fields of
neuropsychology, neurology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, as
well as practicing speech therapists and pathologists, will find
this volume a comprehensive introduction to this increasingly
important discipline.
