This long-awaited and ground-breaking book from cognitive scientist
John Morton helps to clarify the nature of developmental disorders.
It challenges the basis of standard behaviourally based diagnostic
practice, showing how the role of biology and cognition is crucial
to understanding the underlying nature of these disorders. It also
sets out a clear method for assessing and comparing the many
alternative theories.
An understanding of developmental disorders depends on being
able to address the issue of cause and on making the link between
disorder and normal process. These were the driving forces behind
the emergence of the causal modelling methodology at the Cognitive
Development Unit in London by the author and his colleague Uta
Frith. John Morton elucidates this method and uses it ruthlessly to
compare different theories of particular developmental disorders
and to pinpoint their weaknesses. The result is a book that will
have a profound impact on research and thinking in the fields of
psychology, neuroscience and medicine.
