In a broad sense, neuropsychology stands for the branch of brain
sciences that aims to understand how the structure and function of
the brain relate to specific cognitive and psychological processes.
The idea of developing a research field somewhere between neurology
and cognitive psychology emerged in the 1960s as a result of
studies conducted by both disciplines which, although using
different methodologies and tools, were analysing the same issues.
Neuropsychology particularly puts emphasis on the clinical and
experimental study of the cognitive effects of brain injury or
neurological diseases, taking models of normal cognitive
functioning into account. Neuropsychological Research: A Review
provides a meticulous overview of what has been achieved in the
field of cognitive neuropsychology from its early beginnings in the
1960s and 1970s to the present day. Authors include some of the
pioneers involved in the genesis of neuropsychology as an
independent and distinct field of neuroscience. The comprehensive
coverage includes language disorders, skilled movement disorders,
recognition disorders, attentional and executive disorders,
visuo-perceptual disorders, memory disorders, and neurodegenerative
diseases. This fascinating text forms an enjoyable tribute to the
rich heritage of neuropsychology, and will be essential reading for
researchers and students of neuropsychology, clinical psychology,
cognitive psychology, and behavioural neuroscience.
