Cognitive neuroscience has grown into a rich and complex
discipline, some 35 years after the term was coined. Given the
great expanse of the field, an inclusive and authoritative resource
such as this handbook is needed for examining the current
state-of-the-science in cognitive neuroscience. Spread across two
volumes, the 59 chapters included in this handbook systemically
survey all aspects of cognitive neuroscience, spanning perception,
attention, memory, language, emotion, self and social cognition,
higher cognitive functions, and clinical applications. Additional
chapters cover topics ranging from the use of top-down cognitive
processes in visual perception to the representation and
recognition of objects and spatial relations; attention and its
relationship to action as well as visual motor control; language
and related core abilities including semantics, speech perception
and production, the distinction between linguistic competence and
performance, and the capacity for written language. Special
coverage is also given to chapters describing the
psychopharmacology of cognition, the theory of mind, the
neuroscience underlying the regulation of emotion, and
neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence that supports the
special status of self-knowledge in memory. This handbook provides
a comprehensive compendium of research on cognitive neuroscience
that will be widely accessible to students, researchers, and
professionals working in this exciting and growing field.
