This handbook includes an overview of those areas of cognition
and language processing that are relevant to the field of
communication disorders, and provides examples of theoretical
approaches to problems and issues in communication disorders.
The first section includes a collection of chapters that outline
some of the basic considerations and areas of cognition and
language that underlie communication processing; a second section
explains and exemplifies some of the influential theories of
psycholinguistic/cognitive processing; and the third section
illustrates theoretical applications to clinical populations.
There is coverage of theories that have been either seminal or
controversial in the research of communication disorders. Given the
increasing multi-cultural workload of many practitioners working
with clinical populations, chapters relating to bilingual
populations are also included.
The volume book provides a single interdisciplinary source where
researchers and students can access information on psycholinguistic
and cognitive processing theories relevant to clinical populations.
A range of theories, models, and perspectives are provided. The
range of topics and issues illustrate the relevance of a dynamic
interaction between theoretical and applied work, and retains the
complexity of psycholinguistic and cognitive theory for readers
(both researchers and graduate students) whose primary interest is
the field of communication disorders.
