Some of the most fascinating deficits in neuropsychology concern
the failure to recognise common objects from one semantic category,
such as living things, when there is no such difficulty with
objects from another, such as non-living things. Over the past
twenty years, numerous cases of these 'category specific'
recognition and naming problems have been documented and several
competing theories have been developed to account for the patients'
disorders. Category Specificity in Brain and Mind draws together
the neuropsychological literature on category-specific impairments,
with research on how children develop knowledge about different
categories, functional brain imaging work and computational models
of object recognition and semantic memory. The chapters are written
by internationally leading psychologists and neuroscientists and
the result is a review of the most up-to-date thinking on how
knowledge about different categories is acquired and organized in
the mind, and where it is represented in the human brain. The text
will be essential reading for advanced undergraduates and
researchers in the field of category specificity and a rich source
of information for neuropsychologists, experimental and
developmental psychologists, cognitive scientists and philosophers.
