Uta Frith has been an outstandingly influential figure in the field
of developmental neuropsychology for over 40 years, and is
internationally renowned for her work on developmental cognitive
disorders. Her scholarly influence has defined contemporary
research on atypical development, notably in the fields of autism
and dyslexia. This tribute to Uta brings together her former
graduate students, post-doctoral scientists and collaborators in a
series of papers that provide reflections on current theory and
research. The volume bears the hallmark of Uta's mentoring by
including critical 'state of the art' reviews, empirical research
which challenges mainstream views and consideration of alternative
hypotheses that set the stage for future research. Topics covered
include behavioural and neuroimaging studies of autism, dyslexia,
psychopathy, as well as theoretical and experimental accounts of
normal and abnormal development of intelligence, reading and social
cognition. This special issue of the Quarterly Journal of
Experimental Psychology will be of interest to all students and
researchers in the area.
