Control processes are those mental functions that allow us to
initiate, monitor, and prioritize mental activities. They are
crucial to normal mental functioning. A better understanding of the
nature of control processes and their deficits is important for
clinical work and for an adequate theory of consciousness.
Previously, control processes have been examined within the
frameworks of two parallel but independent paradigms: those of
cognitive psychology and of neuropsychology. Cognitive
psychologists have stressed the theoretical and empirical nature of
normal unimpaired control processes; neuropsychologists have
focused on the relationships between damage to specific functional
areas of the brain and deficits in specific control processes. Both
have contributed extensively to our understanding of control
processes. However, they have tended to operate independently, with
little if any cross-talk between disciplines, despite the potential
benefits such dialogue is likely to generate.
This book represents the first attempt to synthesize cognitive and
neuropsychological perspectives on control processes. It contains
state-of-the-art reports on various aspects of control processes by
experts from both disciplines.
