Originally published in 1988, neuropsychology had evolved
considerably in the decade prior to publication. Methods of
research had changed, new topics of interests had emerged, and
there had also been an ongoing debate as to the objectives of the
field. This evolution had most radically affected the study of
cognitive disorders - an area that had developed particularly
rapidly in the years before and that ultimately became a field of
inquiry in its own right, that of cognitive neuropsychology. The
contributors to this volume all share a fascination with the new
perspectives for understanding how the mind works that have arisen
from the study of impaired cognition. Yet, and this was very
characteristic of the state of the art in cognitive neuropsychology
at the time, they disagreed on many important issues, even those
pertaining to the most basic assumptions of their discipline.
Therefore, the first part of this book is devoted to an attempt to
define and clarify these basic issues and to the confrontation of
alternative views. The remaining parts present original studies on
several topics of particular interest in cognitive neuropsychology.
